NHL games are often won and lost in front of the net.
Players, especially on the power play, park themselves in front of goaltenders to tip pucks past them or to simply obstruct their view by getting in their line of sight.
Defensemen, meanwhile, have the tough task of moving opponents out of the way without drawing a penalty that could give the other team a two-man advantage.
Goalies are constantly on the move, trying to be in a position to see shots and passes, to do their job.
It’s a game within each and every NHL game.
