Same clip as Neutral Zone 2-1-2 Forecheck. Off the faceoff loss, the Islanders immediately jump into the Neutral Zone 2-1-2 Forecheck, a good way to put the pressure on the opposing team.
The clip starts with the Islanders center, #53, losing the faceoff and the puck goes back to one of the Penguins defenseman. The Islanders wingers immediately jump to pressure the Penguins defense. #17 closes on the puck carrier, #15 takes away a D-to-D option and the center, #53, floats around the middle of the ice here, forming a triangle with the forwards, or, a 2-1-2 set up if you include the Islanders defenders. The Islanders basically force the Penguins defenseman to move the puck up the boards, and making a good read the Islanders defenseman, #3 here, pinches on the pass and forces a turnover leading to a chance for the Islanders.
