Episode Details

Zack Ostapchuk just signed a four-year, $9.4M deal with the Sharks, averaging $2.35M annually, and is laser-focused on getting bigger, stronger, and faster this summer to maximize his impact. He’s honing his net-front game, faceoff skills, and edgework to dominate down low, while also admiring veteran Alex Wennberg’s two-way play and the rising talents of Mack and Michael Misa. Skating with teammate Verhoeff — who’s lighting up the ice with a shooting coach — Ostapchuk sees a bright future for the Sharks’ center group. Reflecting on last season’s five-game skid, he credits inconsistency as the main hurdle, but believes the young squad’s newfound discipline and hunger will lead to a more consistent, winning run this year.
