‘If Housley wants to maximize Dahlin’s puck effectiveness, he should consider giving Dahlin the lion’s share of offensive-zone starts (oZS). In other words, most of the draws taking place in the opposing zone should have Dahlin on the ice. This tactic is common for a coach with a gifted defenseman because it not only increases the likelihood of a quality scoring chance, but also ensures his most skilled puck distributor will have close to a 50/50 chance of immediately controlling the puck in enemy territory after a faceoff.’
