Voltigeurs’ Jake Allen Named CHL Goaltender of the Week
Toronto, ON – The Canadian Hockey League announced yesterday that Jake Allen of the Drummondville Voltigeurs is the CHL Goaltender of the Week for the second time this month.
For the week ending February 28, Allen went 4-0-0-0 with two shutout victories posting a goals-against-average of 0.500 and a save percentage of .980 while producing the second longest shutout streak in QMJHL history at 188 minutes and 47 seconds.
Allen’s shutout streak began after allowing a first period goal at 6:16 Wednesday night to the PEI Rocket in a game where he made 31 saves to earn a 3-1 victory. The streak continued with back-to-back shutouts including a 22 save performance Friday as second star of a 3-0 win over the Quebec Remparts, and a third star performance Saturday with 14 saves in a 7-0 win over the Gatineau Olympiques.
