Mike Smith recovers in time to make incredible paddle stop

Mike Smith's made more magic with his paddle.

Frozen out of position after failing to squeeze a shot against his padding, Smith was able to recognize that the puck had squirted out to his side in the knick of time, reaching out to make a desperate denial on Mikkel Boedker with his stick.

Though you may be trying to erase the Four Line Challenge from your memory, Smith saved the All-Star Skills Competition event from complete failure with a miracle shot that slid through a few-inch target at the other end of the ice.
