Lightning goalie prospect Adam Wilcox transitions to the pros

Adam Wilcox made 2,834 saves during an illustrious three-year goaltending career at the University of Minnesota.

None, however, as revered and replayed as his early-season stop against Bemidja State during his junior season.

Wilcox snuffed an initial surge by Bemidji State but splayed the rebound to the Beavers’ Gerry Fitzgerald in a can’t-miss spot on the goal mouth.

Except Wilcox has made a habit in his burgeoning career of bringing the puck back from the brink.

Wilcox reached back with his stick to swipe the certain goal off the line, batting the puck toward his glove and trapping it on the ice.
