Andrew Raycroft With Save of the Night

The Vancouver Canucks dropped a 4-3 shootout decision in Phoenix on Wednesday, and even though they came out on the losing end, goaltender Andrew Raycroft walked away with the play of the night.

Less than two minutes into the first period, with the game still scoreless, Raycroft made a sprawling stick save, robbing Coyotes forward Lee Stempniak.



Incredible. Stempniak would later get the best of Raycroft, scoring two goals in regulation -- giving him three in three games since joining the Coyotes at the trade deadline -- and one in a six-round shootout that featured seven goals.

With the loss, the Canucks end their marathon 14-game road trip with an 8-5-1 mark, winning seven of the last 11. They now have a five-point lead over Colorado in the Northwest Division standings.
