Longtime Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi pulled off an incredibly rare feat during a Saturday matinee against the Dallas Stars on Saturday.
While trying to protect the net from a Stars’ Wyatt Johnson shot, Josi swatted away the puck away with his hand for an incredible glove save. His maneuver prevented what could’ve been an easy Dallas goal and reinforced how talented he is on the ice.
Josi’s save hypothetically should have triggered a Stars penalty shot from some perspectives since he closed the glove on the puck, but the refs decided to let this one slide.
Instead of it giving Dallas another easy chance at a goal, it gave Josi one of the coolest highlights of the day.

Dallas fans might be enraged by Josi getting away with one here, but the highlight still stands as one of the best things you’ll see in NHL action this holiday weekend.
Josi has always been such a reliable defenseman for the Predators, and moments like this show exactly why.
