Mazanec won all three of his starts last week, stopping 80 of 83 shots for a 1.00 goals-against average and a .964 save percentage to help Milwaukee clinch their 12th straight berth in the Calder Cup Playoffs.
On Tuesday night vs. Rockford, Mazanec made 26 saves to backstop Milwaukee to a 3-1 victory over the IceHogs. He then came back with 26 saves and was named the game's first star in a 4-1 win at Rockford on Friday, a victory that secured the Admirals' 12th consecutive postseason appearance. On Saturday, Mazanec stopped 28 of 29 shots as Milwaukee earned a 4-1 win at Chicago.
