16 moments from All-Star Weekend
5. Gibson's save on Seguin
The goalies were a huge factor Sunday with some remarkable saves and even some offense, including assists from Anaheim Ducks goalie John Gibson, Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne, New Jersey Devils goalie Cory Schneider and Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Ben Bishop.
It was hard to find a more memorable goalie moment than Gibson's right skate save on Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin with 2:26 left in the semifinal game between the Pacific and Central Divisions.
Vancouver Canucks forward Daniel Sedin carried the puck in with Seguin, joining him for a 2-on-1. Sedin delivered a perfect pass across the slot to Seguin for a one-timer from below the left circle. Somehow, Gibson pushed off, slid across and stopped the shot with his skate.
Burns got to the puck first and quickly moved it up to Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau, who went in on a 2-on-0 with Edmonton Oilers forward Taylor Hall. Gaudreau dished to Hall, who scored 10 seconds after Gibson made the save, giving the Pacific an 8-5 lead when it was inches away from being in a one-goal game.
