VIDEO: Maple Leafs’ Sparks makes sprawling stick save

Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Garret Sparks hasn't seen NHL action since Dec. 17, but you'd never know from his early performance Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The 22-year-old made 15 first-period saves to keep the game scoreless, including the series of saves above, ending with a sprawling stick stop to rob Valtteri Filppula.

General manager Lou Lamoriello said he needed a better look at Sparks after trading James Reimer to San Jose ahead of the trade deadline, and the young goalie is certainly making a good impression so far.
