GOALTENDER OF THE WEEK

Adirondack’s Connor Ingram was named ECHL Goaltender of the Week for Nov. 6-12 after going 2-0-1 with a 1.30 goals-against average, while playing three games in less than 48 hours this past Friday to Sunday.

He stopped 33 shots in a 4-1 win at Kalamazoo on Friday in his ECHL debut, turned aside 25 shots in a 5-2 victory over the KWings on Saturday, and made a career-high 37 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss at Brampton on Sunday.

That leaves Finley’sluckycharm and Paulassilverlining. Going into the Breeders’ Cup, Finley’sluckycharm was a neck shy of being undefeated in five starts. But Paulassilverlining faced tougher competition, sweeping the Grade 1 Madison Stakes and Humana Distaff back in the spring. She also finished ahead of Finley’sluckycharm the two times they met, including in the Filly & Mare Sprint.
