I have added the forwards setting up in an I when the puck first goes to the point. I see this in the NHL with a lot of teams. The second forward goes to the side of the first pass, so the D doesn't have to come out unless the puck gets to the player on the other side. The middle forward drops down but doesn't chase sideways.
This practice formation can be used for all team play teaching situations. If you haven't enough players to do it out of both ends then you simply rotate in one end.

T2-4 D400 PK and PP Rotation Detroit – Pro
Key Points:
PK outnumber the PP on loose pucks in the corner. PK skate in straight lines. Always one pk denying the mid point and one in front. PP change the point of attack when outnumbered. Rotate the mid point player to the middle or the back door.
Description:
1. Start with everyone in position on the pp and pk.
2. If pk gets the puck start the pplay again from a different spot.
3. On the pplay either the puck or the player moves.
4. PK always lead with the stick on the puck and in passing lanes.
5. PP always give at least two easy outlets.
6. PP give low support when puck on half wall.
7. PK cut the ice in half and force passes that must beat two defenders.
8. Work at each end 30-60" rotate on whistle.
*Game situation: defenders shoot puck to other end.
