Knights’ Austin Elliott named OHL Goaltender of the Week
Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that Austin Elliott of the London Knights is the OHL Goaltender of the Week for the second time this season, playing to a 2-0 record including a shutout, along with a 1.00 goals-against average and .961 save percentage.
Making a total of 49 saves last week, Elliott opened the week with a 28-save shutout on Wednesday as the Knights blanked the Brantford Bulldogs 5-0. He returned between the pipes on Friday, turning aside 21 of the 23 shots he faced as the Knights defeated the Kingston Frontenacs 3-2.
A 20-year-old from Strathmore, Alberta, Elliott has been dominant this season, owning an impressive 28-1-0-0 record, three shutouts, a 2.15 goals-against average, and .921 save percentage. The Knights acquired the overage goaltender from the Barrie Colts, who had claimed him off CHL waivers in early October. Elliott joined the OHL after beginning his career with the WHL’s Saskatoon Blades.
Also considered for the award this week, Sudbury Wolves netminder Finn Marshall went 3-0 with a 2.33 goals-against average and .915 save percentage. North Bay’s Mike McIvor was also steady, going 2-0 with a 2.50 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage.
