Andrei Vasilevskiy's spectacular stop allowed Brayden Point to net an impressive overtime winner against the Florida Panthers on Saturday night.
Vasilevskiy slid across the crease to absolutely rob Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad about a minute into the extra frame.
Then, just over a minute later, Point flew in on a breakaway off a stretch pass from Ondrej Palat and tucked home the winner on the backhand.
