The Athletic’s Craig Custance reported Calgary’s Noah Hanifin tinkered with his one-timer at Darryl Belfry’s skills camp last month. He’s not the only Flame working on his finish. Another is Sam Bennett.
“I can do a better job of finishing opportunities,” he said. “Release points. Someone told me every time I shoot the puck it’s the same. Sometimes you need to mix it up, change the angle, change the release point, and I was working on that.”
Bennett added he was working on shooting off different feet, as well.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was James Neal that told him that. I've posted it before (so I won't do it again) but Neal wrote an article for the Players Tribune in 2015 about shooting and scoring in the NHL, and how he had to learn to change the angle, adjust your release, etc. Bennett has always been a one-trick pony, which is a big reason why he hasn't been able to produce like he could in junior.
