GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The American Hockey League on Monday announced that Grand Rapids Griffins goaltender Jared Coreau has been selected as the CCM/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Feb. 1.

Last week, the 6-foot-5, 230-pound Coreau became just the seventh goaltender in Griffins history to record a shutout in consecutive games, last accomplished by Daniel Larsson in 2008-09. On Thursday, Coreau turned aside all 38 shots he faced in a 6-0 blanking of the Iowa Wild at Wells Fargo Arena, before earning a 3-0 victory on Friday with 28 saves against the Milwaukee Admirals at BMO Harris Bradley Center, marking his third shutout of the season. Coreau’s current shutout streak of 140:32 is just 13:26 shy of the franchise record held by Marc Lamothe, the only other netminder in Griffins history to post consecutive road shutouts.

This season, Coreau owns a 9-6-1 record, ranks eighth among league goaltenders with a 2.07 goals against average and ranks sixth with a 0.930 save percentage. The 23-year-old’s 2014-15 campaign is a complete turnaround from his rookie season in 2013-14, when he registered a 4.03 GAA and a 1-12-6 record in 20 games with the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye and a 4.39 GAA and a 0-4-0 record in five games with the Griffins.

Coreau joins a list of 15 other Griffins who have been named AHL Player of the Week, and he becomes just the fifth goaltender in franchise history to earn the honor: Petr Mrazek (Feb. 3, 2013), Jimmy Howard (Jan. 25, 2009 and March 20, 2006), Joey MacDonald (Feb. 16, 2004) and Lamothe (Nov. 18, 2002).

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

The Griffins will travel to Toronto for a rare matinee game against the Marlies on Wednesday at 11 a.m. before returning to Van Andel Arena on Friday and Saturday for games against the Rochester Americans. Both home games will begin at 7 p.m. and tickets are available at griffinshockey.com.
