THE SEQUENCE

Wolf’s first NHL game came against the San Jose Sharks, against a team and players he grew up watching and cheering for in northern California, and in this Pro Reads video session he breaks down what starts as a 2-on-1 rush:

The puck isn’t even in the zone at this point, but what information are you looking for as a goalie as the Sharks skate this puck through the neutral zone?

Are you trying to read purely off the attacking players, or is there something about the Flames defenseman that might also affect how you play this as a goalie?

What about now? Has the way his defender plays this affected Wolf’s read?

Is Tomas Hertl (No. 48) still a dangerous threat?

What else are you preparing for at this point?

Anythign stand out about the way Wolf played it?
