Incredible Save by Hurricanes Goalie Leads to Victory

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen made a potentially game-saving stop in Game 1 of their first-round matchup against the New York Islanders, possibly marking the save of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs kicked off just yesterday. Already, Carolina Hurricanes’ goalie Frederik Andersen is turning heads.

Tied at 1-1. Just a minute into the third period of Saturday’s Game 1. That’s when Andersen pulled off what might just be the save of the postseason.

From the seat of his pants, no less. He robbed defenseman Noah Dobson of what seemed like a sure goal.

In their first-round face-off against the New York Islanders, this move by Andersen could be a game-changer.
