Save of the Season? Forsberg robs certain goal with sliding glove stop

When is the potential best save of the season not the potential best save of the season?

When it's two of the potential best saves of the season on the same play.

Ottawa Senators goalie Joonas Korpisalo put together a stellar sequence during Sunday's game against the Edmonton Oilers.

With about five minutes to play in the first period and the game knotted 1-1, the Oilers went on the attack. Oilers forward Derek Ryan made a beautiful cross-ice pass to Sam Carrick, but Korpisalo made a spectacular pad save to turn him away.

But, of course, that left a rebound, which Oilers forward Connor Brown jumped on and tried to lift the puck over Korpisalo's pad. But the veteran goalie was able to lift the right pad just off the ice enough to deny him as well.

Korpiasalo gave fans a great value: two outstanding saves for the price of one.
