1. Curtis McElhinney: May 1, 2019 vs. New York Islanders
The series of saves by Curtis McElhinney against Nick Leddy and Jordan Eberle of the New York Islanders in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs were mind-blowing. McElhinney, on the initial chance by Leddy, fully stretched his left leg out to deny the chance with his skate.
Following up was Eberle, who tried to stuff the rebound home, but again McElhinney was there to deny the puck entry into the goal. This time was with his glove right along the goal line to keep game three tied at one.
What makes this save even more spectacular than it actually was, is the fact that McElhinney is 35, almost 36 years old. At that age to be full split and make not one, but two saves is absolutely incredible.
What makes it even more impressive is that McElhinney was starting his first game since April 6 and only had the game two relief appearance for Mrazek as his only game time since.
