Albany Devils News Release
Lowell, MA ... The American Hockey League announced today that Lock Monsters Goaltender Brent Krahn has been named the Koho AHL Goaltender of the Month for November. In six starts last month, Krahn was 5-1-0 with a 1.65 goals-against average, a .944 save percentage and three shutouts.
After Lowell went the entire 2003-04 season without recording a shutout, a 97 game span, Krahn posted three in a 10-day span to finish November. He made 34 saves in a 5-0 win over Portland on Nov. 21, and followed that effort up with a 27-save performance in a 4-0 win at Worcester on Nov. 26, snapping the Lock Monsters' 10-game road winless streak (dating to last season). Krahn suffered his only loss of the month on Nov. 28, making 36 saves and nearly upsetting league-leading Manchester, then stopped 29 shots on Nov. 30 in another 4-0 win over Worcester, tying a franchise record with his third shutout of the season.
A native of Winnipeg, Man., the 22-year-old Krahn is in his second professional season in 2004-05 after being selected ninth overall (by Calgary) in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. He has a record of 6-3-0 in nine games for Lowell this season, with a 2.33 GAA and .923 save percentage. Krahn appeared in 21 AHL games last year between Lowell and San Antonio, posting a mark of 5-10-1.
In recognition of his achievement, Krahn will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Lock Monsters home game.
The Lock Monsters return to action on the road this weekend as they travel to Connecticut to take on Hartford (Friday, 7:05 pm) and Bridgeport (Saturday, 7:05 pm). They return home to face the Springfield Falcons in a 4:00 pm start on Sunday afternoon. Tickets for all Lock Monsters home games are current on sale at the Tsongas Arena box office, or by calling the Lock Monsters at (978) 458-7825, Tickets are also available online at www.lockmonsters.com.
