In the System: Gauthier named WHL Goalie of Week

For the third time since being traded to the Portland Winterhawks in January, Penguins prospect Taylor Gauthier was named the WHL Goalie of the Week.

Gauthier won back-to-back starts in the last week, stopping 33 of 34 shots faced on Saturday, allowing only a penalty shot goal. He posted a 20-save shutout the following night.

Since Gauthier was traded to Portland, he's earned a record of 18-3, a 1.74 goals-against average and a .943 save percentage.

In case you missed it, I spoke with Gauthier, his goaltending coach Andy Moog, and Penguins goaltending coach Andy Chiodo for this story last week.
