This week is highlighted by shutouts by goaltenders Mikhail Yegorov and Jakub Malek
Jacob Malek
On Friday night, the Utica Comets shutout the Syracuse Crunch 3-0 on a 15 save effort by goaltender Jakub Malek, his first AHL shutout of his career. It was a strong defensive effort by the Comets, led offensively by goals from Angus Crookshank, Brian Halonen, and Xavier Parent. Prospects Seamus Casey, Topias Vilen, and Lenni Hameenaho also earned assists.
Here’s the celebration:
Mikhail Yegorov
Not to be outdone, Boston University netminder Mikhail Yegorov stopped all eighteen shots he faced against UMass on Friday for a 1-0 win and his first collegiate shutout of the season. The performance improved Yegorov’s record to 10-8-1 for the struggling Terriers.
Around the Pool:
- Winger Shane LaChance has been hot lately and while 11 points in 29 games doesn’t seem like much, LaChance has shown great improvement from the early season.
- Also hot, Lenni Hameenaho was one of the AHL’s three stars Wednesday night for a two goal effort. Hameenaho has been a nearly point per game player after the first ten games of the season.
- Lastly, this post is a little old, but it highlights some of winger David Rozsival’s work this season. Rozsival has been blistering hot as of late and now leads all Devils prospects in points and goals across all leagues with 14 goals and 24 points.
