In hockey, an open net occurs when the goaltender has left the goal crease, often due to a team pulling their goalie in favor of an extra skater to increase offensive pressure, typically late in the game when they are trailing. This creates a scoring opportunity for the opposing team, as the net is unprotected. Open nets can also occur during a delayed penalty, when the goalie is temporarily removed while the team has possession of the puck.
