Being New Year's Eve, the NHL scheduled more than one matinee today, including a battle of the basement between the Chicago Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets.

And Alex Stalock made a very good case for Save of the Year on Johnny Gaudreau.

During the first period, a cross-ice pass finds Gaudreau with a wide-open net in front of him. However, at the very last moment. Stalock makes a desperation save with a swinging stick.
