Sharks' New Forecheck Paying Dividends
The San Jose Sharks have introduced a new forecheck, which has been a key factor in their best hockey this season.
According to consultant Jack Han, the Sharks have adopted a more aggressive 2-1-2 neutral zone forecheck, as seen in their game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The 2-1-2 is a more aggressive scheme that aims to pressure the opposing team on their side of the center red line.
This new approach has led to a more active forecheck and backcheck, resulting in more turnovers, as observed in clips from their 3-0 loss to the Penguins.
We've tried getting our team skating a little bit more, using that 2-1-2.
Autor's note: Sharks changed forecheck strategy.
