Why do hockey teams pull their goalie for an extra attacker during an empty net situation?
Hockey teams pull their goalie for an extra attacker during an empty net situation to increase their chances of scoring a goal and tying the game. By having an extra skater on the ice, the team can create more offensive opportunities and put pressure on the opposing team's defense. However, this strategy also leaves the net vulnerable to the other team's shots, increasing the risk of allowing an empty-net goal.
