I have diagramed the pk rotation 3-5 vs a Spread Power Play. Vancouver did it opposite with the weak side high player covering the middle, the strong side high player keeping point coverage and giving a free pass to the back door play. Boston scored on their third back door shot. Schnieder made on terrific save and I think on went wide.
