Zachary Correia, Richmond Generals

Goaltender
Phil-Antoine Trepanier, Carolina Jr. Hurricanes
The ‘03 out of Quebec joined Carolina later in the year, but has been fantastic since his arrival, posting a record of 6-1-0-0, with half of those wins coming during the month of February. This past month, he had a .932 save percentage and a 2.52 goals against average, and he finished the regular season with a 32-save shutout of the division champion Charlotte Rush, whom they will face in the Southeast Division playoffs this weekend.
