New Jersey Devils: Top 5 Saves This Season

Number Two

Cory Schneider on Jamie Benn, game 32

As the Devils tried to stave off the Stars with a two-goal lead, Schneider made one of the best saves of the season. Brian Gibbons blocked a shot attempt from the point, but the puck rolled right to Stars forward Alexander Radulov with an open shooting lane. Stars forward Patrick Sharp was completely obstructing Schneider’s vision as Radulov made the extra pass to Stars forward Jamie Benn in the slot. Benn quickly fired towards goal and Schneider, with Patrick Sharp draped all over him (and seemingly interfering with him), dove out to make a sprawling glove save for the ages. The replay made the save look even better.

Words cannot do justice to this save. With Patrick Sharp practically tackling him, Schneider never loses sight of the puck and dives out to stone Jamie Benn. Not only is this one of the best saves of the season for the Devils, but in terms of skill and focus required to make a save, this has gotta be close to the top of the NHL-wide season rankings. This save was simply stunning.
