Check them out in the NHL saves of the week for April 13th to 19th:
#10
Marc-André Fleury – Pittsburgh Penguins
It’s official, Marc-André Fleury can windmill ANYTHING.
#9
Craig Anderson – Ottawa Senators
This bouncing puck seemed impossible to track, but Anderson met it with the blocker.
#8
Henrik Lundqvist – New York Rangers
Ben Lovejoy put some serious mustard on this shot, but Lundqvist was able to find it through a screen!
#7
Carey Price – Montreal Canadiens
Price showing off his best Hasek impersonation! He can get it done so many ways.
#6
Scott Darling – Chicago Blackhawks
Darling absolutely stole game one back for the Blackhawks with saves like this.
#5
Pekka Rinne – Nashville Predators
Rinne doesn’t quit on this puck and makes an…interesting save. Then he takes a knee to the head!
#4
Carey Price – Montreal Canadiens
Great move by Zibanejad, and Price misses the poke check – but luckily he backed it up with his pad.
#3
Petr Mrázek – Detroit Red Wings
Mrázek has his glove in perfect position for this save, then adds a little bit of flair for good measure.
#2
Henrik Lundqvist – New York Rangers
Pittsburgh is in big, big trouble if this guy is on his game.
#1
Scott Darling – Chicago Blackhawks
Chicago’s playoff hopes now rely on the big Scott Darling. As long as he keeps making saves like this, they’ll be fine!
