With playoff races that warm up in the NHL, we have a new “Save of the Year” leader in the clubhouse.

However, the puck remained in the air and looked to be heading towards the back of the net.

So Gibson did his best “gun pete” impression and went back with his glove to get the miraculous rescue.

The puck actually came out of the glove, but the judges blew the dead; And at least the puck is better off in front of the net than at the back.

However, it wasn’t all fun and games for Gibson as he run the game later with an lower body injury.

Canucks Winger Drew O’Connor crashed into him in the crisis. Both players tumbled awkwardly in the net, where Gibson stayed down on the ice for several minutes before getting up slowly and leaving the ice with help. O’Connor got a Goaltender interference penalty and Lukas Dostal came to relieve Gibson.

Gibson stopped 19 of the 21 shots he was facing before traveling, and Dostal made 14 rescues. The ducks pulled 3-1 early in the third period, but were unable to connect to a potential equalization.
