First up today is an underrated veteran play from Marc Staal. This puck gets fired around the boards and Travis Konecny is unable to settle it. That leaves Staal caught a little bit as Columbus exits the zone, and he tries to catch up with a defensive play, but the Columbus forward pokes the puck ahead. If Staal continues into the forward’s path, he’s going to be called for interference. Instead, he lets himself fall to the ice, and that impedes the Blue Jacket’s path to the puck just enough to allow Joel Farabee to catch up to it first.
