The Pittsburgh Penguins not only saw a familiar face in the opposing goal on Thursday, they saw a familiar save as well.

Vegas Golden Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, a three-time Stanley Cup winner during his 13 seasons with the Penguins, made 24 saves in a
2-1 win
against his former team. One of the saves brought back incredible memories.
Fleury threw his entire body in front of the puck to make a lunging save against Brian Dumoulin at 13:41 of the second period.

It was eerily similar to the save Fleury made on Detroit Red Wings defenseman
Nicklas Lidstrom
in the closing seconds of Game 7 of the 2009 Stanley Cup Final. Pittsburgh also
won that game 2-1
.
