PP/ PK Split Game

Take your two Power Play units and put them on each side of the ice in one zone.  Have pads or cones separating the zone.  Take 4 penalty killers and put them within the 5 PP group.  These killers can not clear the puck out of the zone (it will be given right back to PP if they do so) and instead have to clear the puck or pass across to the other PP group on the other side.  Play for a designated time limit.  Focus on quick decisions, outnumbering on loose pucks, net front presence and more.

2 Puck Showdown

Neutral Ice game with two teams and two nets.  1 puck comes out of each side on the whistle. Goal is to score both pucks in your opponents net, while also defending your own.  Pucks are dead when they leave the neutral zone or in the back of the net.  Great drill for man on man defense, communication, compete level and more.
