I used to do this in high school and long since stopped until a couple of weeks ago and forgot how big a difference it can make.

The 'drill' is simple; basically pick an object in the foreground, (your finger, a pencil, etc) and something directly behind it in the background, (a sign on the wall, a clock, the tv, etc). Focus your vision on the object in the foreground and after a few seconds move it to the object in the background, then back to the foreground object and repeat.

Basically helping to train your eye to better adjust and focus to objects both far and near. The quicker your eye can adjust to this the better you see the puck, especially coming through screens and thus the more efficient you are with saves and rebound control.

It is a small exercise and it isnt going to change the world but it does make a difference between you fighting off a shot and making a controlled save.

Example is in this picture where the leaf would be in the foreground and the guy in the background. You would practice moving your focus from one to the other:
