The Giants in conjunction with the Western Hockey League are thrilled to announce that 1999-born goaltender David Tendeck (North Vancouver, B.C.) has been named WHL Eli Wilson Goaltending Goaltender of the Week for the week ending April 21st.
Tendeck led the Giants to a pair of victories at home against the Spokane Chiefs in the first two games of the WHL's Western Conference Championship series. The Arizona Coyotes prospect stopped 54 of the 57 shots fired his way for a .947 save percentage while compiling a 1.50 goals-against-average. He was named the first star of Game #1. In seven appearances so far in the playoffs, Tendeck has managed a 6-1 record with a 1.99 goals-against-average and .923 save percentage.
