Watch: Defenceman Fabbro helps make goal line save for Canada

Canada’s goaltending at the world juniors, in the last few years at least, has needed all the help it can get.

In the second period of Canada’s semifinal with Sweden, defenceman Dante Fabbro came through with one of the biggest saves on the night, helping goaltender Carter Hart preserve Canada’s 3-2 lead.

Fabbro, a first-round pick of the Nashville Predators, got his stick on the puck just before the goal line, allowing Hart to corral the puck before crossing and giving the Swedes a tie game.

Honestly, you can’t get any closer than this.

It was so close the play was reviewed, but as you can see by the overhead view, the puck never crosses the line. Good teamwork for a great save.
