“It slings off his blade so unpredictably...this allows him to get around defenders' sticks and confuse goaltenders.” For the final Inside the Highlight Reel, HeyBarber takes a closer look at Auston Matthews' drag-release shot. (via SachdevaSonny) ➡️

For the final instalment, he explains the intricacies of Matthews’ signature shot:

Watching the above sequence in slow motion, we can see that bit of deception play out. Canadiens defender Jeff Petry sets up for the block in front of Matthews, his positioning based on where No. 34’s stick sits and what that suggests about where he’ll be releasing the puck, only to see the centreman pull it around him and whip it easily past Petry and into the cage.

“On this example, he pulls it back with the backhand and ever-so-slightly drags it with the toe, which evades the defenders stick for the quick release,” Barber says. “How much you drag the puck with the toe depends on where the shooting lane is, and we’ve certainly seen some pretty wide drag and releases from Matthews.”

“It’s so important that the puck starts out off the body because that gives Matthews the ability to pull it in while keeping his hands away from the body, to create the flex on the stick,” Barber says.
