Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider, currently playing for Germany in the 2026 IIHF World Championship, brought the house down with an incredible save on the goal line.
Follow Michael Whitaker On X Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider does it all for his team night after night. Although the season didn’t end with a playoff berth, it was a career year for Seider. He set new personal bests in goals, assists, points, plus-minus, and average ice time per game, while once again appearing in all 82 regular-season contests.
Not only did he represent his native Germany during the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, but he was also chosen to do so in the ongoing 2026 IIHF World Championship. And already, Seider has given fans a highlight-reel defensive play, going viral all over social media for a ridiculous save with his stick on the goal line after doing a complete 180-spin. Germany goaltender Philipp Grubauer of the Seattle Kraken attempted a poke-check on Finland's Waltteri Merela, who maneuvered around him and eventually backhanded the puck toward the vacated net after his first attempt was blocked.
That's when Seider wowed fans everywhere. Better view of Moritz Seider's massive save here. #MensWorlds #LGRW pic.
