Toronto Marlies News Release
The American Hockey League announced today that Ben Scrivens of the Toronto Marlies has been named the Reebok/AHL Goaltender of the Month for March. Scrivens was 6-3-0 with a 1.40 goals-against average and led the league with a .952 save percentage and three shutouts as the Marlies closed in on a division title.
Scrivens began the month with a pair of hard-luck losses, making 31 stops in a 2-1 defeat to Rochester on March 3 and stopping 37 of 38 shots in a 2-0 setback to Binghamton on March 7. Scrivens helped Toronto get back in the win column by allowing just one goal over his next three starts combined, highlighted by shutouts in Hamilton on March 9 (23 saves) and in Grand Rapids on March 16 (31 saves). Scrivens posted three more consecutive wins, including a 36-save blanking at Lake Erie on March 24 and a 33-save effort in Rochester on March 30, before being recalled by the parent Maple Leafs and earning a victory vs. Buffalo on March 31.
Scrivens, 21-14-1 with four shutouts in 37 appearances for the Marlies this season, leads the AHL with a 2.07 goals-against average and ranks third with a .925 save percentage. The second-year pro from Spruce Grove, Alta., made his NHL debut with the Maple Leafs earlier this season and is also 3-4-1 (2.97, .904) in nine NHL games on the year. In recognition of his achievement, Scrivens will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Marlies home game. The Marlies host their final two regular season home games this Saturday vs. the Grand Rapids Griffins and Sunday vs. the Hamilton Bulldogs. Puck drop for both games is scheduled for 3 p.m. Remaining tickets can be purchased online through marlies.ca or by calling 416.597.PUCK (7825).
