Special teams setup

[nemanja2306]

I just went through the preseason with the Flames and went pretty well, I won every game except the last one against the Pens. Now, I seemed to have found a good style with the Puck Control system that fits the Flames. My 5on5 play is good.

However, my special teams are atrocious. Which systems do you guys recommend? Both PP and PK.

Also, I'm trying out a 1-3-1 PP, but I don't know which position is positioned where. For example, I want to have a big guy in front of the net, screening the goalie but I don't know where to put him - LW, C or RW.

I guess you just need to assign him the role "screener"

So, whomever I assign this role, they will go to the net? Or is it a specific position?

Yes, I think that the screener will go to the net. That being said, players out of their natural position will have a small penalty in tactics, so probably you want to set an RW playing as RW with the "screener" role, for example.
