D starts with puck at the inside corner of faceoff circle. F1 and F2 start from corner.

On "go" all three players move at once. D leaves a drop pass for F1 who drives seam to the net for a quick shot. F2 is in immediate pursuit to pressure from behind. 

Immediately after shot, F1 and F2 race for puck on the far wall. F1 is working skill of holding the lane to puck. Pressure from F2 should be strong. Goal is for F1 to use body and position to hold F2 back for last second move to puck for possession. 

F1 cycles up the wall leaving puck for "point" and transitioning across the top of the zone. F2 cycles low and joins F1 as a teammate. 

D follows play across the zone and engages to defend the net 2v1. Forwards should be judgeing D position and angles to make decisions on passing vs shooting, and creating different ways to attack net.
