Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The American Hockey League announced today that Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins goaltender Joel Blomqvist was named to the 2023-24 AHL All-Rookie Team.
Blomqvist currently leads all rookie goalies with 25 wins on the season. He also ranks third among all AHL netminders with a 2.14 goals against average and fifth with a .921 save percentage. The 22-year-old was also the Penguins' representative at the 2024 AHL All-Star Classic earlier this season.
The full 2023-24 AHL All-Rookie Team is as follows:
G - Joel Blomqvist, WBS
D - Brandt Clarke, ONT
D - Logan Mailloux, LAV
F - Josh Doan, TUC
F - Brad Lambert, MB
F - Logan Stankoven, TEX
Blomqvist was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round (52nd overall) of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft with a pick acquired from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for goaltender Matt Murray. Coincidentally, Blomqvist is currently tied with Murray for the seventh-most wins in a single season in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton franchise history, a feat Murray also achieved in his rookie campaign.
With two games remaining in the regular season, Blomqvist needs one victory to tie Marc-André Fleury for the most wins by a rookie in Penguins history (26).
