Sound Tigers goaltender was 3-0 with two shutouts
BRIDGEPORT, CT - The American Hockey League's Bridgeport Sound Tigers, top affiliate of the National Hockey League's New York Islanders, have announced goaltender Wade Dubielewicz has been named the CCM Vector / AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Sunday, January 1st. Dubielewicz allowed just one goal in posting a 3-0 record, two shutouts, a 0.33 goals against average and a .989 save percentage in three games last week. He has also stopped 156 of 160 shots in leading the Sound Tigers to a five-game, unbeaten-in-regulation streak at 4-0-0-1.
In recognition of his achievement, Dubielewicz will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Sound Tigers home game at Bridgeport's Arena at Harbor Yard.
Dubielewicz began his award-winning week by stopping all 36 shots he faced in a 4-0 home win over the Springfield Falcons Wednesday. He turned aside 26 of 27 shots in a 4-1 road win over the Philadelphia Phantoms Friday. The week concluded with Dubielewicz making 24 saves Saturday afternoon in a 6-0 home win over the Lowell Lock Monsters. He was then recalled by the Islanders on Monday.
Dubielewicz is 8-13-1 with a 3.12 goals against average, .908 save percentage and three shutouts in 23 appearances with the Sound Tigers this season. The three shutouts rank him second among the AHL's leading goaltenders and push his Sound Tigers career total to 13, which breaks a franchise record he originally set in 2003-04. In addition to the 13 shutouts, Dubielewicz is 46-44-7 and has one assist and six penalty minutes in 99 career AHL games as a Sound Tiger. He is 1-0-1 with a 1.73 goals against average and a .940 save percentage in two career NHL appearances with the Islanders.
Dubielewicz first signed as a free agent with the Islanders in May of 2003 and won the AHL's Garrett Award as the Rookie of the Year in 2003-04 when he set league records with a 1.38 goals against average and .946 save percentage. He also notched nine shutouts to set the Sound Tigers career mark and tie the AHL's single-season rookie record in 2003-04. Dubielewicz played four seasons (1999-2003) at University of Denver before turning pro.
