Machesney named the OHL Player of the Week
Toronto - The Ontario Hockey League announced today that Brampton Battalion goaltender Daren Machesney is the OHL Player of the Week.
Machesney, 18, picked up a pair of shutout victories last week over two Eastern Conference rivals. Friday, Machesney stopped all 32 shots he faced to help the Battalion defeat the Sudbury Wolves by a score of 4-0. On Sunday, Machesney backstopped the Battalion to 3-0 win over the defending Eastern Conference champions, the Ottawa 67's. Machesney picked up 34 saves in this game and put on a show for the hometown crowd. Machesney was named the First Star in each of these games.
Machesney was selected in the fifth round by the Washington Capitals in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. Daren has now earned three shutouts in his last 10 regular season starts dating back to the end of the 2004-05 campaign when the Battalion defeated the Mississauga IceDogs by a score of 1-0 on March 18. Machesney now leads the OHL in shutouts and sits fifth in goals against average as well as save percentage.
