This one?

It wasn't perfect. Had Yellow not been hitting poke check, they may have actually intercept this pass.
The reception itself was the collection of a loose puck caused by an interaction between the puck and the defender (yellow), but because yellow was hitting poke check/DSS, they did not enter the pickup animation, and the puck made its way through.
In this frame, you can see the #8 has body position (their stick is in front of #29):

This is proven by the fact they actually obtain possession of the puck first: (take note of the darker grey, indicating puck possession)

The puck is then dislodged by the initiation of poke/dss. We all know that for some reason, player skates become more obstructive to puck movement when DSS/poke is engaged:

Because DSS/Poke is engaged, the puck continues its travel through the legs and behind #29

Then, #8 CORRECTLY obtains the puck as #29 is engaged in poke/DSS and activelt skating AWAY from the puck:
