Just over five minutes into the second period of Monday's game against North America, Sergei Bobrovsky foiled a breakaway chance by Connor McDavid that could have made the game 2-0 North America.
The save turned out to be crucial to Russia's eventual 4-3 win, but to Bobrovsky, the save represented much more.
"That was the most important shot in my life," Bobrovsky remarked, according to Puck Daddy's Greg Wyshynski.
