St. John’s IceCaps forward Bud Holloway made perhaps the save of the year Saturday, when he dove towards his own net, Superman-style, to thwart an empty-net chance for Binghamton Senators forward Cole Schneider.
While his efforts may have been for naught (the Senators were up 3-1 at the time, and would eventually score an empty netter to make it a 4-1 final anyway), this was still a pretty terrific play by Holloway who’s only played in one NHL game this season for the Canadiens – a team that could perhaps use his heroic puck-stopping abilities.
Holloway actually leads St. John’s with 44 points. His 15 goals this year has him second on the team to Charles Hudon.
