Alban finished the week at home setting a side 36 shots in a 5-3 victory over the Missouri River Otters.

The honor for Alban is the second time this season that he has been selected Goaltender of the Week. Alban was last earned the award for the period ending December 8th, when the Kalamazoo native registered a record of 1-0-1, had a goals against average of 2.00, and a save percentage of .943.

Alban has proved to be a minuteman for the Kalamazoo, as the goaltender has started 30 straight games for the K-Wings.
