Pound shots early to test em', float shots to the net in traffic, cycle down low and look for coverage breakdowns and thread passes in to a breaking forward or pinching D-man, create odd man rushes with stretch plays(long pass), cycle in and look for clear lanes back to your D-men for one timer's, use the hustle function to gain an edge one on one to drive wide or manual deke inside to throw the D-man off balance, and if you manage to get behind the D, the goalies can still be deked fairly easily if your timing is on. Just to name a few.
