They were once called cover-point. In regular play, two defencemen complement three forwards and a goaltender on the ice.

In National Hockey League regular season play in overtime, effective with the 2015-16 season, teams (usually) have only three position players and a goaltender on the ice, and may use either two forwards and one defenceman, orrarelytwo defenceme ...
