Calgary, Alta. – The Western Hockey League announced today that Red Deer Rebels goaltender Riley Lamb has been named WHL Goaltender of the Week and league nominee for the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending February 4, 2018.

Lamb, a 6-foot-0, 176-pound product of Rivers, Man., posted a pair of wins, a 1.96 goals-against-average, and a .934 save percentage as the Rebels went undefeated in regulation through their road trip in the East Division.

Tuesday against the Prince Albert Raiders, Lamb stopped 25 of 28 shots to score a 4-3 victory in overtime. The Raiders took the lead on three separate occasions, but held his team close enough for them to battle back each time before winning it in the extra period.

Friday against the Moose Jaw Warriors, Lamb held the league’s top offence to just one goal on 33 shots in a 3-1 victory. The Rebels never trailed in Friday’s contest against the league-leading Warriors as Lamb stopped all 14 shots sent his way in the third period while the Rebels broke open a 1-1 deadlock to clinch the victory. For his efforts, Lamb was named the first star of the game.

Lamb’s record for the 2017-18 season now stands at 3-9-3-2 with a 3.73 GAA and .891 SV%. Joining the Rebels ahead of the 2016-17 season, the 19-year-old Lamb has appeared in 60 career WHL games with a record of 17-21-8-5, 3.50 GAA and .896 SV% with three shutouts.

The Rebels are back in action Wednesday, February 7 (7:00 p.m. MST) as they play host the Calgary Hitmen.
