After Saturday’s win against the Blue Jackets, Coach Carbery was asked about Connor McMichael and Aliaksei Protas finishing their chances more frequently, this is what he had to say:
“They are constantly attacking the net and around the net-mouth. So instead of having to rely on beating an NHL goalie from the slot or off the rush with a shot, which is extremely difficult to do, they’re scoring in and around the net and they’re constantly attacking the net. They’re not settling for a wrist shot from the circle. They’re getting a lot of high-danger chances […] That’s what I feel like those two guys are doing a way better job of, attacking the net and getting around that scoring area.
