Colorado College sophomore Jackson Unger has been named the KJ Branding NCHC Goaltender of the Week after his stellar performance in CC's sweep of then 10^th-ranked UMass at Ed Robson Arena.
 
Unger, from Calgary, Alberta, was a rock in net last weekend to start the season, allowing only one goal all series. In Friday's season opener, he stopped all 32 shots he faced for his first career shutout, including 15 saves in the final frame. The 32 saves tied the second-most in Unger's career while it marked CC's first shutout in a season opener since 2008. The next night, Unger turned aside 22 of 23 shots faced in Saturday's finale as the Tigers rolled to a 6-1 win.
 
Unger finished the season-opening weekend with 54 saves on 55 shots faced for a .982 save percentage and a 0.50 goals-against average, both of which led NCHC goalies with two games played last weekend. He was one of three NCHC netminders to log a shutout on opening weekend and the only NCHC goalie to earn two wins.
 
The Tigers face the U.S. National Under-18 Team in an exhibition game on Friday, Oct. 9, at Robson Arena.
