(Saginaw, MI) Saginaw Spirit goalie Edward Pasquale has been named the Canadian Hockey League's Goaltender of the Week for his efforts this past week. He posted a 2-0-0-1 record including a shutout victory, with a 0.97 goals against average and 0.972 save percentage.

The Atlanta Thrashers prospect led the OHL with 105 saves in three games beginning last Wednesday night where he turned aside 33 shots before falling 3-2 to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in a shootout. Despite the loss he was named the game's third star. Saturday night marked one of his top performances of the year, when he posted 38 saves to beat the Kitchener Rangers 3-0 to earn first star of the game honors with his first shutout of the season. He wrapped up his week and the regular season on Sunday with second star honors in a 4-1 win over the Plymouth Whalers, where he made 34 saves.

Pasquale, a 19-year-old from Toronto, Ontario, is playing in his fourth OHL season and finished the 2009-10 campaign with a 27-17-2-3 record with a goals-against-average of 3.17 and save percentage of.916 and one shutout. The fourth round 2009 NHL Entry Draft pick of the Atlanta Thrashers helped the Spirit climb the standings in the season's final weekend to sixth place in the OHL's Western Conference.

Mac Carruth of the WHL's Portland Winterhawks was also considered for the award after posting a 3-0-0-0 record with a 1.30 goals-against-average and a.958 save percentage. Two-time award winner Jake Allen of the Drummondville Voltigeurs continued his strong play posting a 2-0-0-0 record with a shutout win and a goals-against-average of 0.45 and save percentage of.969.
