There are three basic strategies that Auston Matthews uses to score most of his goals:
- Get Inside the Dots
- Relentless Repositioning to get your stick open
- Shoot Quickly as soon as you get the puck
Watch this video to see exactly how he does it…
Inside The Dots
Nearly all of his goals are scored from inside the dots and below the top of the circle. He’s got one of the best shots in the NHL. You should be trying to get even closer.
Relentless Repositioning
When the puck is in the zone:
- Get Inside the Dots
- Attack the Net and then aggressively reset if the puck doesn’t come to you. Don’t just stand at the net or where you are covered.
Shoot Quickly
When you get the puck shoot it before the goalie can get set. Use a catch and release or one timer shot.
