When facing down a shooter – precise, controlled movements give you the ability to stop the puck and limit rebounds, all while maintaining control over your position in the paint.
Movement and puck handling outside the paint are also key parts of a goaltender’s skillset, and new improvements to skating and puck control will allow you to spring passes to teammates on the breakout – or try for an elusive empty-net goal.
When the shots start flying, decide whether to make controlled positional saves, or commit to high risk athletic saves that may leave you vulnerable to secondary chances.
