Inside the Sharks’ 2025 NHL Offseason: Analytics Reveal Game-Changing Secrets You Won’t Believe
In the last two seasons, the Sharks have been dead-last in the NHL in OZ Possession Time, “one-and-done” being an appropriate adjective for their pop gun offensive attack.
Orlov should help keep the puck cycle alive, which should free up shooters like Toffoli and company.
It’s a small sample size, but last year, Nedeljkovic and his Pittsburgh Penguins battery mate Tristan Jarry had the worst 5-on-5 Rush Shot Save % in the league.
So it’s incumbent on a veteran Sharks’ blueline and developing forward group to improve their OZ puck possession time, puck management in all zones, and kill more plays at the blueline, so not to expose Nedeljkovic in the same way.
