CCHA Forward of the Week: Jackson Jutting, Gr., Bemidji State (Savage, Minn.)
Jutting scored two goals, including one power-play tally in leading Bemidji State to a road split with St. Thomas last week. He registered five shots on goal and won 24-of-49 face-offs to pace the Beavers. On Saturday he scored two goals that brought Bemidji State even, before helping kill off two penalties in a 2-1 win on Sunday.
CCHA Defenseman of the Week: Trevor Taulien, So., Ferris State (Cleveland, Wisc.)
Taulien helped the Bulldogs to a split with then-No. 14 Minnesota State last weekend, dishing out a pair of assists and finishing at +2. On Friday, he had one assist in a 2-0 Ferris State victory. He then had one helper in a 7-2 loss on Saturday. For the week, he had two blocked shots.
CCHA Goaltender of the Week: Josh Kotai, So., Augustana (Abbotsford, B.C.)
Kotai led CCHA netminders with a 0.47 goals-against average and a .987 save percentage, going 1-0-1 in a road series against Bowling Green last week. Recording a league-best 74 total saves, he notched his third shutout of the year on Friday night, stopping all 33 shots he faced. On Saturday, he eclipsed the 40-save mark for the second time this season, turning away 41-of-42 shots in a 1-1 tie, before the Vikings won a shootout for the bonus point.
CCHA Rookie of the Week: Elias Jansson, Fr., Michigan Tech (Oulu, Finland)
Jansson scored three goals last week, helping Michigan Tech to a home-and-home sweep of rival Northern Michigan. On Friday, he netted a pair of power-play goals, including the game-winner in a 3-2 Huskies victory. He then potted an empty netter on Saturday to cap a 4-0 Tech win.
