Back in Vancouver Saturday night for game five, Guggenberger and the Rockets closed the door again on the Giants offense with a 1-0 shutout win where he made 25 saves to grab a 3-2 series lead. The Rockets finished the series with a 5-4 overtime win Monday of this week and will now face the Calgary Hitmen for the Ed Chynoweth Cup.
Guggenberger, a 20-year-old from Richfield, Minnesota, is in his second full WHL season. He posted a 17-3-1-2 record after joining the Rockets from the Swift Current Broncos midway through the season. In 16 playoff games he has posted a record of 12-3-1-0 with a 2.21 goals-against-average and a .906 save percentage with two shutouts.
Also considered for the second straight week from the QMJHL is Marco Cousineau of the Drummondville Voltigeurs.
