Timpano earns CHL goaltender of the week honours

Sudbury Wolves netminder Troy Timpano has been named the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week.

Timpano posted a 2-0-0-0 record, which included a shutout victory with a goals-against average of 0.50 and save percentage of .986 for the week ending Dec. 14.

Timpano made 70 saves in two games last week backstopping the Wolves to a pair of victories. He earned back-to-back first star honours including Friday night with a 43-save performance collecting his first career shutout in a 3-0 win over the Windsor Spitfires, then again on Saturday with 27 saves in a 3-1 victory over the Kingston Frontenacs.

Timpano, a 17-year-old from Pickering, Ont., is playing in his second career OHL season with the Wolves. So far this season, the 2016 NHL Draft prospect has a 5-16-1-0 record with a goals-against-average 4.30 and save percentage of .892, but ranks fifth in the OHL with 717 saves.
