Neutral Zone Regroup: Weak-Side Winger Low image
The Weak-Side Winger Low is an effective play for forwards with tremendous outside speed. The F1/center acts as a decoy in the middle while D1 sends a cross-ice to F3, who’s curled back to create a flatter passing angle. This change-of-side is especially difficult to defend for NZ forechecks that overprotect the middle, as shown above.
