Watch: Canadiens’ Condon goes behind-the-back for save

Mike Condon added another save to his NHL highlight reel, as the Canadiens goalie made this ridiculous save in Carolina.

Canadiens goalie Mike Condon added another highlight to his reel with a ridiculous save against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.

With the score tied in the third period Condon denied Eric Staal’s bid at a gaping net with a mix of extreme acrobatics and hand-eye coordination​, swinging his shoulder around to bat the puck out of mid-air. For his efforts, Staal was left in the corner filled with disbelief.

Condon and the Habs were only able to hold off the Canes for a few minutes longer before Jeff Skinner notched the winner in a 3-2 final.

The Princeton graduate has nine wins to go with a 2.22 GAA and .913 SV% in 17 games this season, getting an extended run as the Montreal starter while Carey Pricerecovers from a lower-body injury.
