glove save
Caught by hand
A glove save is a save made by a goaltender who catches the puck or ball in their catching glove rather than deflecting it with a stick, pad, or blocker.
The term appears most often in hockey: The goalie made a spectacular glove save on the breakaway.
A clean glove save—snatching a hard shot from the air—is among the most impressive defensive plays.
