I like to pass back to a trailing forward or defender in the NZ and then pass across to a forward on the far side boards. There usually is a gap here, but if not, I'll repeat. I'll pass it around the NZ until I can create a gap to skate through. I also find the deke for banking the puck off the boards works really well, but it also takes good timing. The same move (LB+RT, L1+R2) works when off the boards as well. Still, if you're finding it's impossible to gain their zone, dumping the puck can be good. Especially if you've got speedy forwards.
