@NDHockey - Congrats to
Cal Petersen, who was named the #HockeyEast Defensive Player of the Week!
Notre Dame, Indiana - Notre Dame sophomore goaltender
Cal Petersen was named the Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week on Monday, November 2.
Petersen led the Irish to a weekend sweep against Connecticut which included a 2-1 win on Saturday afternoon at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut and an 8-2 victory at the Barclays Center on Sunday afternoon in Brooklyn, New York. Playing both games,
Petersen posted a 2-0-0 record, a 1.50 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage.
In Saturday’s 2-1 win, he denied Patrick Kirtland's one timer from the low slot with his left pad with less than five minutes remaining in the game to preserve the Irish lead and eventual victory. With the weekend sweep of the Huskies,
Petersen and the Irish improved to 3-1-2 on the season, including a 2-0-0 mark in Hockey East play.
No stranger to Hockey East awards, it marks the third Defensive Player of the Week honor of
Petersen's career and his sixth total weekly honor after he was also named the Player of the Week once during his freshman season and twice earned Rookie of the Week honors.
