Young forwards on the San Jose Sharks, including Macklin Celebrini, are encouraged to learn the importance of puck management from veteran center Alex Wennberg. In a 3-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, Wennberg demonstrated his puck protection, vision, and passing skills, showcasing how valuing the puck can open opportunities for teammates. Sharks' coach Ryan Warsofsky emphasized the need for the team to improve in maintaining puck possession, especially in the offensive zone, to enhance their scoring potential.
"He creates a lot of space for himself. He's got a lot of poise with the puck. He draws some coverage and then guys open up for him and he makes those plays." - Mario Ferraro
"We got to value the puck, especially in areas where we can score goals. I thought we've gotten better this year, breaking out pucks and valuing it that way..." - Ryan Warsofsky
