Watch: Langhamer preserves win for Smith, Coyotes with desperation stop

Cold sweat in dry equipment isn't a scenario most netminders dream up in their NHL debuts, but Marek Langhamer of the Arizona Coyotes made the most of his regardless.

Just a few days after being summoned to replace injured backup Louis Domingue, Langhamer was brought in off the bench to protect a two-goal lead versus the Anaheim Ducks when starter Mike Smith was forced to exit the game.

Langhamer only saw eight shots in his 15 minutes of work, allowing one goal. But he was responsible for preserving the victory for Smith and the Coyotes with a ridiculous post-to-post stop on Sami Vatanen just before time expired.

The save was spectacular, and so is the story. Langhamer, 22, has been between minor-league levels this season before being thrust into a hurried debut Monday night.
