SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... The American Hockey League announced today that St. John’s IceCaps goaltender Eddie Pasquale has been selected as the Reebok/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Feb. 12, 2012.

Pasquale made three starts last week and stopped 83 of 87 shots, earning three wins and helping the IceCaps into first place in the overall AHL standings.

Pasquale began the week by leading St. John’s to a two-game sweep of Providence on Feb. 7-8, making 29 saves in a 2-0 shutout win and then turning aside 36 of 37 shots in a 2-1 overtime victory. Pasquale then registered 18 saves to preserve a 4-3 IceCaps win over Binghamton on Feb. 11, extending his personal winning streak to six games. Pasquale finished the week with a 3-0-0 record, a 1.32 goals-against average and a .954 save percentage.

A 21-year-old native of Toronto, Pasquale is in his second professional season after being drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2009 (fourth round). He owns a record of 14-6-0 with two shutouts in 20 appearances for St. John’s this season, along with a 2.59 GAA and a .907 save percentage.

In recognition of his achievement, Pasquale will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming IceCaps home game.

It's a sign of a bright future for us and him. The Jets organization is blessed with two solid young goalies. Pavs and Pasquale.

If Mason were to leave, I think we'd have a solid duo in Pavsqualec.

Leaves the big question about resigning Mason. Nice guy and great to have around the club but is it in the clubs best interests?

[floatyghosthat]

Mason is a great back-up with solid numbers. More importantly, he's a great role model for Pavs.

Having Pasquale as a back up would be a huge detriment to the team. I'd much rather he stay in the AHL, putting up great numbers and playing 3 games a week instead of sitting behind the bench in Winnipeg, getting 5 games a season.

It does raise the question though, what happens when he's ready? If we can sign Pavs long-term, then there really isn't much room for an up-and-coming NHL calibre goalie here. Trade bait?

nice to see! good job

Pasquale is only 21. Sign Mason for another 2 years, give Pasquale the reigns in St. John's and bring him along slowly.

If people want to emulate Detroit, look what they did with Jimmy Howard.
