Carolina Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward is out the rest of the NHL regular season, and so Dan Ellis and Justin Peters have been rotating in net. Peters is 26-years-old and started the season in the AHL, but I think he is going to be the starting goalie after this save. Buffalo Sabres forward Thomas Vanek has been on fire all year and is currently 4th in the league with 28 points. The puck magically squired to Vanek (as it usually does when someone is on a hot streak) and Peters managed to reach across and knock the puck out of the air with the paddle of his stick. This save was pure larceny to say the least and Peters finished the game with 37 saves and the victory.
