Anton Khudobin has given the Ducks a few more minutes to fight with this late blocker save on a John Tavares scorcher.

The Islanders captain had a wide open net to shoot at on the two-on-one, but Khudobin was able to track the forward and get his pad up in the right spot to stop the chance cold. New York may have been leading 3-1 late in the third period, but Khudobin's save gave the Ducks a chance in the final minutes.
