INDEPENDENCE, MO - Kansas City Mavericks goaltender Jack LaFontaine has been named the Warrior Hockey ECHL Goaltender of the Week.
LaFontaine, 27, posted a stellar 3-0-0 record last week, including a shutout performance on Saturday night against the Tulsa Oilers. Over the three-game span, LaFontaine recorded a 0.96 goals-against average and a .962 save percentage during the three games, stopping 76 of 79 shots faced.
LaFontaine's stellar week began with a 6-2 road victory over the Allen Americans on Wednesday, February 12, where he stopped 20 of 22 shots. He followed up with a strong 34-save performance in a 3-1 home win against the Tulsa Oilers on Friday, February 14. He capped off the week in dominant fashion, recording a perfect 22-save shutout in a 1-0 shootout victory over Tulsa on Saturday, February 15. The shutout marked his fourth with the Mavericks, tying him for the second-most in franchise history.
LaFontaine has been a key player for the Mavericks this season, boasting a 13-4-1 record, a 2.20 goals-against average, a .914 save percentage, and three shutouts through 18 games. Earlier this season, he earned a call-up to the Coachella Valley Firebirds of the American Hockey League (AHL).
A former third-round draft pick by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2016 NHL Draft, LaFontaine continues to impress with his poise and reliability between the pipes.
