Toronto, ON - The Canadian Hockey League today announced that Devin Williams of the Erie Otters is the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending November 15 after posting a 4-0-0-0 record with a goals-against-average of 1.74 and save percentage of .938.

Williams made 91 saves in four games backstopping the Otters to four-straight wins including a pair of victories against strong Midwest Division rivals. His best performance was a season-high 35 saves on Sunday night in a first place battle against the Kitchener Rangers helping the Otters win a record eighth-straight road game in the 5-2 triumph. One day earlier he earned first star honours against the London Knights turning aside 23 shots in the 3-1 victory. His week also included a 24-save performance in a 5-2 win over the Mississauga Steelheads on Tuesday, then helped the Otters grab a 6-4 comeback win against the Oshawa Generals stopping nine shots after entering the game in relief midway through the second period.

The 20-year-old from Saginaw, Michigan, is playing in his fifth OHL season with the Otters and currently carries a 14-0-1-0 record leading all OHL goaltenders in wins so far this season. His goals-against-average of 2.31 is also the league's best while his save percentage is tied for third best at .921. Earlier this season Williams established a new Otters franchise mark for career wins and now has 79 since the 2011-12 season.
