Bo Horvat’s diving stop denies Macklin Celebrini at the goal line
The Islanders captain swept a loose puck away with his backhand to preserve a 1–1 tie late in the first period against San Jose.
Bo Horvat dove behind Ilya Sorokin and swept the puck away from the goal line to deny Macklin Celebrini late in the first period Monday at SAP Center. The play kept the New York Islanders and San Jose Sharks tied 1–1.
Sorokin stopped Celebrini’s shot on an odd-man rush, but the puck stayed loose in the crease. Celebrini reached in and nudged it under Sorokin. Horvat got behind his goaltender and used his backhand to send the puck into the corner.
Horvat also picked up the second assist on Ben Hutton’s opening goal at 6:14 of the first period.
