Spirit’s Tristan Lennox named OHL Goaltender of the Week

Toronto, Ont. – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that New York Islanders prospect Tristan Lennox of the Saginaw Spirit is the OHL Goaltender of the Week for the second time this season, going 3-0 with a 2.00 goals-against average and .926 save percentage.

Lennox backstopped the Spirit to three straight victories on the road last week, helping them maintain home ice advantage in the Western Conference playoff picture. He helped the Spirit defeat the Soo Greyhounds 6-2 on Wednesday, making 29 saves, following that up with another 21 saves on Friday as the Spirit bested the Guelph Storm 4-2. Lennox wrapped-up his solid performance on Saturday in Owen Sound, making 25 saves as Saginaw defeated the Attack 3-2 at the Bayshore.

A 20-year-old from Cambridge, Ont., Lennox is 22-13-1-1 this season with a 3.24 goals-against average, .882 save percentage and two shutouts in 38 games. His 56 career wins are the fifth-most in Spirit franchise history as the former second round (26th overall) pick in the 2018 OHL Priority Selection has played to a career mark of 56-43-4-3 with a 3.29 goals-against average, .885 save percentage and three shutouts in 114 games. Lennox is the only remaining member of the Spirit who reached the Western Conference Championship Series with the club back in 2019. He was a third round (93rd overall) pick by the New York Islanders in 2021 NHL Draft.

Also considered for the award this week, San Jose Sharks prospect Ben Gaudreau helped the Sarnia Sting gather five of a possible six points, going 2-0-1-0 with a 2.30 goals-against average and .929 save percentage.
