The 21-year-old won all three of his starts last week to help the IceCaps move into first place in the overall standings.

Pasquale made 29 saves in a 2-0 shutout win over Providence last Tuesday and then stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins on Wednesday.

The Toronto native made 18 saves in a 4-3 win over Binghamton on Saturday. He finished the week with a 1.32 goals-against average and .954 save percentage.

Pasquale was selected by the Atlanta Thrashers in the fourth round (No. 117 overall) of the 2009 NHL entry draft.
