How Braden Holtby made his incredible save in Game 2
With 1:59 remaining in the third period of Wednesday night's Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby made the save of the series and preserved a 3-2 win to even things up with the Vegas Golden Knights at a game apiece.
The save will be talked about and dissected for quite some time, as Holtby -- who began the playoffs riding the pine in favor of Philipp Grubauer -- seemed to defy logic in keeping an Alex Tuch one-timer from the slot out of the net. But the save was really a chain of reactions set in motion seconds before Tuch swatted at Cody Eakin's pass.
