SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The American Hockey League announced today that Brandon Halverson of the Syracuse Crunch has been selected as the AHL Goaltender of the Month for February.

Halverson went 6-0-0 last month, allowing a total of 10 goals on 151 shots for a 1.67 goals-against average and a .934 save percentage in his six starts.

Halverson made 27 saves in a 4-3 win over Springfield on Feb. 4, and stopped 21 shots in a 5-2 win at Belleville on Feb. 7 before shutting out Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (16 saves) on Feb. 14.

Halverson finished the month by making 31 saves in a 6-4 win over first-place Laval on Feb. 28, setting a personal best with his sixth consecutive victory.

With just two regulation losses in his last 19 decisions (14-2-3), Halverson now has a record of 19-6-3 in 29 appearances for Syracuse this season, ranking sixth in the AHL with a 2.25 goals-against average, tenth with a .910 save percentage and tied for first with five shutouts.
