Bulldogs’ Marco Costantini Named OHL Goaltender of the Week
Toronto, Ont. – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that, for the second straight week, Marco Costantini of the Hamilton Bulldogs is the OHL Goaltender of the Week, going 2-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average, .960 save percentage and one shutout in a pair of playoff contests.
Costantini stopped 48 of the 50 shots sent his direction in a pair of Eastern Conference Championship Series victories over the North Bay Battalion on home ice. He turned aside 20 of 22 shots in Friday’s 5-2 Game 1 win before returning to the crease on Sunday, making 28 saves for his second shutout of the OHL Playoffs as the Dogs defeated the Troops 5-0.
A 19-year-old product of Hamilton, Costantini was voted the Eastern Conference’s Top Goaltender this past season with league-leading figures that include a 2.32 goals-against average, .917 save percentage and six shutouts. He played to a mark of 31-9-2-2 in 45 games, improving to 41-24-8-2 with a 3.15 goals-against average and .897 save percentage in his 79-game OHL regular season career. Costantini has played to a postseason record of 10-0 with a 1.70 goals-against average and .936 save percentage. He was Hamilton’s fifth round (95th overall) pick in the 2018 OHL Priority Selection.
Also considered for the award this week, Matt Onuska of the Windsor Spitfires went 1-1 with a 3.05 goals-against average and .914 save percentage as the Spits split the first two games of the Western Conference Championship Series against the Flint Firebirds.
