The Chicago Blackhawks goalie stole a sure goal with a highlight-reel glove save during the third period of their game against the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday.
With the score tied at 3 in midway through the third, Coyotes forward Clayton Keller fielded an errant pass and snapped a one-timer at Lehner from between the circles. But Lehner stacked his pads and caught the puck, wind-milling his glove to keep the puck out.
The save earned him a standing ovation from the United Center crowd and also his teammates on the bench. But Lehner said it was all good fortune.
"Luck," Lehner, "I wouldn't call it technique."
It was the best of Lehner's 41 saves and helped Chicago earn a point in its 4-3 shootout loss.
