With the playoff races they heat up in the NHL, we have a new leader of “Save of the Year” at the Club House.
The Anaheim Ducks made a visit to the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night, and despite a difficult loss, fans received a fairly spectacular stop with the glove at the beginning of the game.

The end of the Canucks Drew O’Connor crashed into him in the fold. Both players clumsy the net, with Gibson remaining down on the ice for several minutes before slowly getting up and leaving the ice with help. O’Connor received a penalty for interference from the goalkeeper, and Lukas Dostal was relieved from Gibson.
Gibson stopped 19 of the 21 shots he faced before leaving and Dostal made 14 salvages. The Ducks lost 3-1 at the beginning of the third period, but could not connect to a possible equalizer.

Anaheim comes from an impressive 6-2 victory over the queen champions of the West Conference, but their hopes of playoffs were affected by the loss. Vancouver is also fighting for a place in the playoffs and won the very necessary victory.
