Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Garret Sparks hasn't seen NHL action since Dec. 17, but you'd never know from his early performance Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The 22-year-old made 15 first-period saves to keep the game scoreless, including the series of saves above, ending with a sprawling stick stop to rob Valtteri Filppula.

General manager Lou Lamoriello said he needed a better look at Sparks after trading James Reimer to San Jose ahead of the trade deadline, and the young goalie is certainly making a good impression so far.
