🔘The effective PP and the spamming of the shot button

Game 2 of the playoff quarterfinal series between Växjö and Kalmarsund turned into a special teams festival. Want to be prepared for tonight's game, that might figure one or two powerplays in both directions? 🥊

Let us break down the tactical stuff that decided this game. This time, we will not focus on the six-on-five part of it (this game had this too), but instead we will focus on the powerplay and the penalty killing of both teams.

Växjö were effective, scoring a goal on their only powerplay opportunity. Kalmar was struggling, playing almost eight minutes of five-on-four, and gettint their only goal while playing five-on-three for a short amount of time.

How did it look? Let us analyze it together. 👇
