These are the kinds of plays that go a long way in winning a postseason series, and it was a rookie who isn't even legally allowed to drink in the United States that made it happen.

Toronto Maple Leafs rookie forward Matthew Knies, who is in the lineup due to the suspension of Michael Bunting, absolutely robbed the Tampa Bay Lightning of what would have been a sure goal by Anthony Cirelli by stopping the rolling puck from fully crossing the goal line at the last possible moment: 

The spectacular defensive effort prevented the Lightning from taking a two goal lead. An absolutely incredible heads up play by the young man who was playing collegiate hockey at Amalie Arena with the Minnesota Golden Gophers just two weeks ago.
