Antero Niittymaki Saves Face For Lightning With Amazing Save

↵The Chicago Blackhawks took it to the Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday night, blanking them 4-0. It could have been that much worse were it not for an outstanding save in the final minute - one that calls to mind the stop Simeon Varlamov made on Sidney Crosby in last season’s playoffs - by Lightning goalie Antero Niittymaki. Not only is it a great manuever, but he fortuitously gets his stick to block any camera angle that would show if the puck indeed did creep over the line.↵↵(H/T to Puck Daddy)↵
