Petes goalie named CHL Goaltender of the Week

Peterborough Petes goalie Hunter Jones has been named the CHL’s Goaltender of the Week for the opening week of the regular season.

Jones, a 2019 NHL Draft prospect, posted a 2-0-0-0 record including a shutout victory for a goalsagainst-average of 1.50 and save percentage of .962.

Jones turned aside 75 shots last week for the Petes who finished OHL opening week with a pair of victories against fellow East Division competition, leaving them atop the OHL standings. On Thursday night he recorded his first career OHL shutout with 38 saves to earn first star honours blanking the Kingston Frontenacs by a 4-0 score, then made 37 saves on Sunday and earned second star honours in a 7-3 triumph over the Ottawa 67’s.

Jones, who recently turned 18, was originally chosen by the Petes in the fifth round of the 2016 OHL Priority Selection. The Brantford, Ont. native appeared in 15 games last season.
