For the second time in three weeks, sophomore Vinny Duplessis is Hockey East's Goaltender of the Week. Last Monday, he helped bring the Beanpot back to Commonwealth Avenue with a perfect 19 save performance in BU's 1-0 win against Northeastern. It was the second shutout in the Terriers' 31 Beanpot championship game victories.
Duplessis also earned top goalie honors on Feb. 7 following another shutout, 4-0 against Maine with 27 saves made. As a freshman, he was named Goalie of the Week once and Rookie of the Week once.

Following up on a 46 save effort in a 4-1 win against Colorado, Jake Oettinger stopped all 30 shots in regulation and overtime plus four out of five in the shootout as Dallas blanked Chicago, 1-0, on Friday. Oettinger’s four-game win streak ended last night when the Stars dropped a 3-1 decision (including an empty-netter) to Arizona despite 24 saves by the Lakeville, Minn., native. Clayton Keller assisted on the game-winning power-play goal for the Coyotes and hit the empty net for his 20th of the season.

Chris Drury is the only Terrier to have won the award, after scoring 44 points in 1998-99.
