In the closing seconds of regulation against the Dallas Stars, the Tampa Bay Lightning lined up to take a defensive zone face-off following an icing call with about six seconds left on the clock. The Stars won the face-off and Thomas Harley wristed a shot towards the net. As he has done 1,991 times previously in his 15-year career Ryan McDonagh blocked the shot.
The veteran was engaged in the front of the net with Mason Marchment, but saw the shot coming. As he starts to turn away from it, the puck glances off of Marchment’s stick and the redirected path takes it right to the side of McDonagh’s face/ear.
