      CAR@DAL: Holtby stones three opportunities in a row

      By Lauren Merola

      Braden Holtby made three saves in five seconds. With three body parts, nonetheless.

      Carolina Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov was on a fast-break and tried to sneak one by the Dallas Stars goalie on the front stoop, but Holtby, playing in his 500th NHL game, made the sliding save with his shin.
      Hurricanes forward Vincent Trocheck found the rebound and tried for the put-back, but Holtby -- lying on his stomach, having not recovered from his first save -- kicked the puck out of mid-air and away from the net.
      Svechnikov found himself with another chance at goal and shot it from mid-range, where Holtby came up with his third-straight save by catching the puck off-balance.

      After Holtby helped the Stars beat the Hurricanes 4-1, his teammates gathered to celebrate his 293rd win, which is the most by an NHL goalie through 500 games. And it's safe to say Holtby reached the milestone in grand fashion.
