Ducks' John Gibson Stuns With Save of the Year Contender, Leaves Game After Injury

Anaheim goaltender John Gibson made a remarkable behind-the-back save against Vancouver before exiting the game due to a collision with Canucks winger Drew O’Connor.

John Gibson dazzled early in the Ducks' game against the Canucks with a behind-the-back glove save, widely considered a 'Save of the Year' candidate.
The save came just over a minute into the game when Brock Boeser’s shot rebounded into the air, prompting Gibson’s acrobatic maneuver to keep the puck out of the net.
In the second period, Gibson left the game after a collision in the crease with Vancouver’s Drew O’Connor, who was penalized for goaltender interference.
Gibson was helped off the ice after staying down for several minutes, and backup Lukas Dostal took over in net for Anaheim.
Despite the highlight save, the Ducks lost the game 3-2, a setback in their playoff race, while the Canucks bolstered their own postseason hopes.
