Bridgeport Sound Tigers goalie David Leggio knows how to think on his feet.

In an American Hockey League game against the Springfield Falcons on Sunday, the Bridgeport goalie found himself facing a two-on-none break. That's when he resorted to an act of desperation.

Instead of facing the breakaway, Leggio knocked his net out of place.

The referees awarded Springfield a penalty shot as a result of the Bridgeport goalie's actions. Leggio rose to the occasion and stopped the penalty shot, so one might say his quick thinking paid off.

Unfortunately for Leggio, he didn't make enough saves to earn his team the victory. The Falcons won the game, 4-3.
