Fistric with a great hit in Neutral Zone
Here is the breakdown
A. Gap Control- Notice how when Sexton gets his pass, there is very little space for him to work. Fistric has done a great job to control his gap and limited to space.
B. Stick Position- A good stick will create your checking angles. Fistric puts his stick in a spot forcing Sexton to go down the wall. He already has his body in a position so that as he goes that way, he closes off space.
C. Good Clean Hit- Notice the position of his body, knees are bent to use for power, hand are down and the hit is delivered with his shoulder. A great Neutral Zone hit which creates a turnover.
One thing to note in this case, Good backside pressure will allow the D-Man to stay up in the Neutral Zone, notice how many Dallas Players are in the frame when the puck comes thru the Neutral Zone.
