Braden Holtby made one of the biggest saves in Washington Capitals history when he denied Vegas Golden Knights forward Alex Tuch of a sure goal in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. 'The Save' kept the Capitals up 3-2 in the game with just two minutes remaining in regulation.
Holtby's stop helped mark the turning point in the series and Washington did not look back from there. The Capitals went on to win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history three games later.
"It shouldn't be possible," Lars Eller said. "It would have been hard to go out having them tie the game on a weird bounce off the end boards that comes out of nowhere that you feel like they didn't deserve and then the guy gets the empty-netter. Holts comes up big."
"I was dog tired on the bench when it happened so I wasn't even really able to yell," TJ Oshie added. "I slapped my stick as hard as I could. It was outstanding."
