Nathan Lieuwen turned many heads with his save on Tuesday, except for his own.
The Colorado Avalanche netminder made the save of the season - or as of now, the preseason - snaring a Jason Pominville redirection with his back turned to the puck.

In the end, the Avalanche got by the Wild 4-1, while Lieuwen turned away all 11 shots he faced in 20 minutes of work.
