Dynamic goalie duo sparking Rebels rally
Another week brings another goaltending award for a member of the Red Deer Rebels.
Second-year netminder Riley Lamb was named WHL Goaltender of the Week on Monday, just one week after teammate Ethan Anders earned the same honour.
Solid goaltending has been key in lifting the Rebels back into the race for a playoff spot, and Lamb has been a big part of it. The Rivers, Manitoba native posted two wins last week, a 1.96 goals-against-average, and a .934 save percentage.
Tuesday, he stopped 25 of 28 shots in a 4-3 overtime win at Prince Albert. Friday, Lamb held the league-leading Moose Jaw Warriors to a single goal, making 33 saves in a 3-1 road win.
