The AI fights harder when they're down. Especially in the last few minutes. They take more chances and attack the puck harder. The last minute of the game is also in real-time so it's longer than a normal game minute. They will be pretty relentless about quick passes and taking advantage of open lanes. You have to play very defensively and stay in position. I like to clog the front of the net and wait for them to take a shot that is frequently blocked, then carefully break out because a turnover usually means your players are now out of position from transitioning to offense.
