Vegas Golden Knights goalie Adin Hill made one of the most beautiful saves you’re likely to see in the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs… or in any Stanley Cup playoffs for that matter.
As Dallas Stars winger Joel Kiviranta looked well-positioned to give his team the 3-2 advantage over Vegas in the third quarter, a falling Hill reached out his hand and blocked the shot right before it went into the goal.
It was a true last-second save for Hill, one that kept the game tied as the Golden Knights were trying to wrap up Game 5 of the Western Conference finals on Saturday night.
The level of difficulty on this save highlighted why elite goaltending is crucial in the playoffs. Hill showed why he’s a force to be reckoned with on the ice with this incredible stop.

The zoom-in just shows you how stunning Hill’s save really was.
It’s the kind of move that makes a season highlight reel now matter how the playoff series ends.
