Penalty Kill Forecheck: 2-2 Box image
The 2-2 is the simplest and most straightforward arrangement when foreching 4v5. F1 and F2 work together to force the puck wide while the Ds stay in the neutral zone. Few NHL teams use the Box forecheck as it matches up poorly against Single- and Double-Drop breakouts.
