SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... The American Hockey League announced today that Bridgeport Sound Tigers goaltender Wade Dubielewicz has been named the CCM Vector/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending January 1, 2006. In three games last week, Dubielewicz went a perfect 3-0-0, stopping 86 of 87 shots and posting two shutouts.
On Wednesday night (Dec. 28), Dubielewicz turned aside all 36 shots he faced as Bridgeport posted a 4-0 win over visiting Springfield. Friday (Dec. 30) in Philadelphia, he stopped 26 shots in a 4-1 win over the Phantoms. And on New Year's Eve, Dubielewicz came back with 24 saves for his third shutout of the year, leading the Sound Tigers to a 6-0 win over Lowell.
