https://vimeo.com/875625970

A well executed forecheck is so important in order to create offensive zone scoring chances. This clip is a good example of a basic 2-1-2 forecheck by the Blackhawks in Connor Bedard's first NHL game.

What to Watch

The puck is dumped into the corner where the goalie is not able to play the puck.
F1 pressures hard and is able to separate the Penguins player from the puck with a good check.
F2 is in close support so that they are ale to win the loose puck against the Penguin's support player.
F3 (Connor Bedard) is on the defensive side, above the Penguins winger.
When the puck comes up the wall hs is able to jump into position and win the puck back to his teammate on the blue line.
