Henrik Lundqvist makes a rare mistake, recovers smoothly

Depending on who you ask, Henrik Lundqvist is a perfect goaltender with a flawless face who has never made a mistake in his life. Realistically, at least one of those things is true. However, Lundqvist made the rare mistake of misplaying a dangerous puck that could have had dire consequences against the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday night.

While trying to play the puck behind his net, Lundqvist turns the puck over to Max Domi, who slings a puck out front in the slot. Lundqvist never panics and calmly slides across the goal mouth, stretching out the paddle to block the puck down easily to deny the Coyotes the scoring opportunity.
