Option 2: Overloading the front of the net. RW ( or LW), LW (or RW) then the D. The other D partner is directly behind the centre. Centreman draws the puck back, and the D shoots the puck at the net. The RW, LW and other D flood the net looking for a rebound or deflection.

The winger who is on the net side skates directly forward toward the net looking for a pass, deflection or tip. The other winger follows in behind the centre looking for any loose pucks.

Option 4: Net side winger is on proper side. Board side winger lines up in behind the Centre, towards the net more. Centre drops the puck to the winger in behind, who shoots the puck at the net. The net side winger drives the net for a rebound or loose puck.
