The NHL today announced that Predators goalie Marek Mazanec has been named the League's Rookie of the Month.
Here is the press release from the NHL:
Nashville Predators goaltender Marek Mazanec, who
posted a 5-4-1 record with a 2.00 goals-against average, .932 save percentage
and two shutouts in 11 appearances, has been named the NHL Rookie of the Month
for November.
Mazanec edged New York Rangers left wing Chris Kreider (4-9—13
in 15 games), San Jose Sharks center Tomas Hertl (5-5—10 in 13 games),
Los Angeles Kings center Tyler Toffoli (4-5—9 in 13 games), Colorado
Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon (4-5—9 in 14 games) and Boston Bruins
defenseman Torey Krug (3-6—9 in 15 games) for the honor.
Mazanec, 22, made his NHL debut Nov. 8 versus the Winnipeg
Jets, stopping 22 shots in relief of Carter Hutton. He recorded his
first victory with a career-high 39 saves in a 7-2 win over the Chicago
Blackhawks Nov. 16. Mazanec posted his first career shutout in the following
game, making 27 saves in a 2-0 triumph over the Detroit Red Wings Nov. 19. He
added his second blank sheet with a 19-save performance in a 4-0 victory over
the Columbus Blue Jackets Nov. 27.
Mazanec, a native of Pisek, Czech Republic, was selected by
the Predators in the sixth round (179th overall) of the 2012 NHL Draft. He
joins fellow Czech Republic native Hertl (October) as a Rookie of the Month
winner this season.
