I love saves and, let me tell you, there are some good ones in here. The goaltender that really stood out for me last week was Steve Mason of the Columbus Blue Jackets (who happens to appear twice in these highlights). Check out the video:
Here’s the list, tell me if you think there was a save elsewhere in the league that deserved to be mentioned:
10. Josh Harding (Minnesota Wild) robs Nashville with glove save
9. Johan Hedberg (Atlanta Thrashers) shuts down Montreal Canadiens
8. Henrik Lundqvist (New York Rangers) stops two great Habs shots
7. Pascal Leclaire (Columbus Blue Jackets) uses left leg to stop Anaheim Ducks
6. Nik Backstrom (Minnesota Wild) closes the door on Colorado Avalanche
5. Mathieu Garon (Edmonton Oilers) stops Dallas Stars shot on the line!
4. Steve Mason (Columbus Blue Jackets) makes killer save on San Jose Sharks
3. Steve Mason (Columbus Blue Jackets) absolutely robs Vancouver Canucks
2. Ryan Miller (Buffalo Sabres) gets back in net in time to stop Nashville Preds
1. Evgeni Nabokov (San Jose Sharks) denies Kristian Huselius (Blue Jackets)
