“I was anticipating a shot because the clock was winding down, but they passed it backdoor, luckily I got my stick on it and I was told I made a highlight reel save,” Tye Belanger told stealthlax.com.
“We were in a bit of a hole by the time I got into the game, but my position was to get in there and give them a chance. We had a late push but came up a bit short but it was nice to see the guys fight that hard in the fourth.”
Vancouver is tied with Colorado for 1st in the NLL West Division, both with 2-1 records.
The Stealth will be in Buffalo on Saturday.
Game time is 7:30 p.m.
