This one's going on Philipp Grubauer's resume.

The Washington Capitals were down 3-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night with a little over 12 minutes to play in the third period, when Grubauer, on in relief for Braden Holtby, made a game-changing save.

Grubauer used his right leg to absolutely rob Vladislav Namestnikov. The play turned the other way, and T.J. Oshie went roof on Ben Bishop.

Cue the comeback. Alex Ovechkin did the rest, adding a goal and two assists in the final 10 minutes, finishing with four points (as did Oshie). The Capitals won 5-3.
