Carter Hutton

The newly signed Carter Hutton has had a busy week and a half since becoming a Pantom. This was was Hutton’s second loss in four games with Adirondack (1-2-1). Hutton stopped 36 of 40 shots on the night. As can be seen in the photos, Hutton is still wearing his UMass Lowell gear. I’ll have more info on Carter’s stellar career with the River Hawks later in the week along with his mask pictures.

Jeff Zatkoff

Zatkoff  (10-9-0) notched his 10th win of the season for the Monarchs stopping 29 of 32 shots on goal. It look as if Zatkoff may be getting some more playing time as the LA Kings have once again recalled Jonathan Bernier on an emergency basis.

Bernier has been called up to back up Jonathan Quick as Erik Ersberg is out with a strained back.  Bernier is scheduled to start Tuesday when the Kings face the Nashville Predators.

Providence Bruins Goalie Kevin Regan

Every now and then I get the opportunity to chat with a goalie while shooting at the Tsongas Arena, home of the Lowell Devils. The benches are a little small so once in a while the backup goalie will sit over in the tunnel where I shoot from.

 This particular night P-Bruins goalie Kevin Regan was sitting with all of us in the corner.

Not only did Kevin answer a few questions from me about his mask but he also made time for the kids at the game before each period. He was signing everything from game tickets to an arm cast. (See photo below)

Kevin’s mask comes from from artist Doug Wager at Weasel Head Custom Designs. The artwork is a historic Boston/Boston Bruins theme. Doug also painted Kevin’s college mask when he was between the pipes for the UNH Wildcats.

Providence Bruins Goalie Dany Sabourin

Sabourin has updated his mask since the last time I shot a P-Bruins game. Artist Ray Bishop of Bishop Custom Designs has created a beautiful Bruins themed mask for Dany with the P-Bruins logo on one side and the Boston Bruins logo on the other.

After 49 games this season, Sabourin is 25-23-0 with a GAA of  2.67 and 3 shutouts.

Despite having a season high of 48 shots on goal, the Lowell Devils were only able to get two of them past goalie Dany Sabourin in their 4-2 loss to the Providence Bruins.

Dany Sabourin

Sabourin earned his 25th win of the season (25-22-0) by stopping 46 of 48 shots on the night thus ending a four game losing against the Devils.

Bruins goals were scored by Jordan Knackstedt, Mikko Lehtonen and defenseman Andrew Bodnrachuk, who picked up his first multi-goal game with two goals on the night.

The Canucks and the Red Wings faced off at GM Place in Vancouver on Saturday the 20th.

Henrik Zetterberg scored a last second goal in overtime to bring the Red Wings to a dramatic 4-3 victory over the Canucks.

Todd Bertuzzi and Pavel Datsyuk scored 5 seconds apart, the fastest goals ever surrendered by the Canucks and the fastest in Red Wings history. Valteri Filppula added a short-handed goal at the end of the 2nd period giving the Red Wings a 1 goal advantage going into the 3rd period.

Jimmy Howard made 29 saves, and Roberto Luongo made 50 saves.

Brittany Wouts is a student of photography in the professional photo-imaging program at Langara College in Vancouver. She is in the last few weeks of her formal education and is hoping to be a sports photographer in the future. We thought we could fast-track that dream, so now Brittany is a staff photographer for inGoal Magazine. Well, I suppose technically Brittany was hoping to become a professional photographer and for this gig she’s volunteering her skills like the rest of us. Let’s hope someone sees her talent soon and scoops Brittany up!

She got her first opportunity to shoot NHL games on a practicum with her practicum sponsor Jeff Vinnick, and now has a photographer’s pass of her own, so we’ll be treated to her great work as long as the Canucks go in the playoffs this year.

Here are a few examples of Brittany’s goaltender photography. We look forward to bringing you more in the near future! Meanwhile drop by Brittany’s web site and have a look around.

Eyes on the Puck!

Kipper snags one!

Ouch!
