The Montville, N.J. native also scored the first power play goal of the season for the Black Knights in the first game of the series against AIC.
After another stellar weekend between the pipes, goaltender Gavin Abric earned an honorable mention for the AHA’s Goalie of the week award. Abric turned in AHA single game season high 43 saves on Thursday night and followed up with a 36-save night and his first career shutout against AIC on Friday.
