Anchorage hockey player Jeremy Swayman was named our Alaska Athlete of the Week after putting together one of the best back-to-back performances of his young NHL career.
On Tuesday, the Boston Bruins goalkeeper kept his net clean in a shutout on the road against the Chicago Blackhawks. He followed that up by allowing one goal in a 4-1 home victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday.
He stopped 44 of 45 total shots over the two games.
Swayman raised his season record to 4-0-0 with a sterling 957 save percentage.
Entering just his third full season, the 24-year-old now has 58 career wins and ten shutouts.
Also receiving votes: Eagle River endurance runner Jameson Collins, Service High School swimmer Preston Kwon.
The Alaska Athlete of the Week is selected by a panel each Monday.
