Stanley Cup Playoff Saves of the Week: May 25 -31
Before bidding adieu to Frederik Andersen of the Anaheim Ducks and Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers, take a look back at the final week of their seasons. Neither of their teams went down without a fight, with game sevens required in both instances. Ben Bishop and Corey Crawford came out on the winning side, and managed to make a few showstoppers as well! Check out the saves of the week for May 25th to 31st:
#10
Ben Bishop – Tampa Bay Lightning
Bishop gets his long leg over for the stop, then clears his own rebound!

Henrik Lundqvist – New York Rangers
Lundqvist is able to track the pass through a bunch of legs, and still comes across for the pad save.
#8
Frederik Andersen – Anaheim Ducks
Amazing second effort from Andersen to get his toe on Saad’s rebound shot!

Henrik Lundqvist – New York Rangers
Lundqvist scampers across the crease to make a rebound save. Not pretty, but it worked!

Corey Crawford – Chicago Blackhawks
Crawford just catches enough of this shot with his glove to keep it out.
#5
Henrik Lundqvist – New York Rangers
The shot is deflected, but Lundqvist still gets a glove on it, and it ends up on top of the net!
#4
Corey Crawford – Chicago Blackhawks
With the Ducks attempting to mount a comeback late in game seven, it was this save that finally shut the door.
#3
Henrik Lundqvist – New York Rangers
Great awareness shown by Lundqvist to realize the threat is there in the slot, and makes a fantastic pad save as a result.

Frederik Andersen – Anaheim Ducks
Full stretch from Andersen, and he just gets the toe of his pad on it!

The Rangers did end up scoring later on this shift, but this save was flat out unbelievable. Amazing stuff from Bishop!
