Avoid relying only on long shots; use passing to pull defenders out of position before shooting from better angles. On defense, protect the slot and watch for rebounds in front of the net. Big checks are useful, but missed hits can leave openings. When using turbo on the rush, move the puck early near the blue line to avoid being trapped by multiple defenders.
