(Windsor) Goaltender Philipp Grubauer is the Windsor Spitfires Player of the Week as selected by the Spitfires coaching staff for the week ending Sunday, March 7th, 2010. In two starts last week, Grubauer led the CHL's number three ranked team to a perfect 2-0 record, as he posted a 0.50 goals against average with one shutout and a.975 save percentage.

On Thursday, Grubauer stopped 18 of 19 shots as the Spitfires defeated the Saginaw Spirit 7-1 at the WFCU Centre. On Sunday, he stopped all 20 shots faced for his second shutout of the season in Windsor's 4-0 victory over Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds at the WFCU Centre.

Grubauer, an 18 year-old native of Rosenheim, Germany, is eligible for the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. After being acquired in a trade from the Belleville Bulls this past January, he has posted some impressive numbers, sporting a 13-1-0-1 record with a 2.08 goals against average, a.916 save percentage and two shutouts in goal with the Spitfires. Overall, he is tied for sixth in the OHL with a.914 save percentage and is eighth in the league with a 2.77 goals against average.

The defending 2009 MasterCard Memorial Cup and OHL Champions will host the Plymouth Whalers this Thursday at the WFCU Centre in the Spitfires final regular season home game. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m. Tickets for all Spitfire playoff games can be purchased from the TekSavvy.com Box Office (Gate 2) at the WFCU Centre, by contacting 1-866-969-WFCU or online at wfcu-centre.com.
