Jacobson was in goal for both of the Stampede games this past weekend, making a combined 57 saves. On Friday, Jacobson turned aside 39 of 42 shots in regulation and overtime and then stopped 9 of 12 Waterloo skaters in the shootout, helping the Stampede earn a point. On Saturday, he recorded his first career USHL shutout with 18 saves against Tri-City.
