I have found a pretty good way of defending on these...when you play a guy who is obviously intent on scoring the wraparound goals, you park yourself in front of your goalie and hold down the vision control button. You will stay facing the puck (so looking behind your net) and can then poke check him as he comes around either side of the net. Don't switch defenders, never chase them, just stick in front of your net.
What you'll find is they have no other game plan in your zone, and will spend all their time zipping from side to side behind your net trying to goad you into coming after them. I've had guys literally squander half a power play trying to force the issue even though its obvious that I won't bite. Even if they do pass out to the point, stick with your player in front of the net for when they inevitable pass back down to the corner looking to try the wraparound again.
That's how I beat cheese players with rankings 15-25 levels above me.
