AMESBURY, Mass. — Senior Lawton Zacher of the Northeastern men's hockey team was named the Hockey East Goaltender of the Week, the league announced Monday afternoon.

Zacher was instrumental in Northeastern earning a weekend split with Boston College as he stopped 91 of 97 shots faced (.938 save percentage), recording 45 saves in Friday night's overtime loss and 46 saves in Saturday night's overtime win. The Buffalo, New York native's 46 saves on Saturday night were a career high, and are tied for the most by any Hockey East goaltender this season.

No other Hockey East netminder has recorded back-to-back 40-plus saves this season, and Zacher is the first Husky to accomplish the feat since Devon Levi did so from Feb. 25-26, 2022. This is his fourth time winning Hockey East Goaltender of the Week honors and his first time this season.

Zacher and the Huskies will return to the ice on Saturday, Nov. 7 as they take on the Holy Cross Crusaders in Worcester at 7 p.m.
