uses the game's computer opponent. The game decides the results of each play.
There are no cuts within the minute and no added music or narration.

0:00 TO 0:20: PASS, THEN DEFEND
Blue moves the puck from the opening faceoff. A short pass reaches a teammate,
then red takes possession and shoots toward the right goal. Blue recovers and
both teams contest the puck. The camera follows the play. Dotted aiming lines
appear before blue releases the puck. Play slows during aiming.

0:20 TO 0:23: CARRY UP THE ICE
Blue wins the puck near center ice and carries it toward the left goal.
Teammates move ahead and to the sides as red closes the space. Two passes
bring blue into shooting range.

0:23 TO 0:27: SHOOT AT GOAL
Blue shoots from near the faceoff circle. The puck stays in play around the
goal, where both teams chase it and blue gets another shot away.

0:27 TO 0:49: PASS TO THE POINT
Blue sends the puck back to a defender near the blue line. The receiver shoots
it straight back toward goal. Play continues with rebounds, passes and more
attempts. Both teams challenge the puck carrier and chase loose pucks.

0:49 TO 1:00: A CHANGE OF POSSESSION
Red comes away with the puck and attacks the right goal. Blue recovers briefly,
then red passes into a shot and scores. A fight invitation briefly appears
before the goal. No fight takes place. The score changes to 0–1 and a goal
banner appears. Play restarts with a faceoff at center ice.

SOUND
There is no narration. Crowd noise, skate sounds, stick and puck impacts
accompany play. A whistle and cheering follow the goal near 0:57. The video
player has an optional Game sounds caption track.
