Skate directly at the defender to control their feet and beat them one-on-one.

Torey Krug does an excellent job of controlling the defender’s feet, saving space/ice for himself, building up a speed differential, and accelerating once he knows he has the defender beat. A simple technique leads to an elite goal.

This is an easy and very effective technique that anyone can use.
