For the Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Seattle’s Taran Kozun has been chosen the Vaughn Canadian Hockey League Goaltender of the Week for the second time this season, the league announced today.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kozun posted back-to-back shutouts in two starts with a perfect goals-against-average of 0.00 and save percentage of 1.000 for the week ending Feb. 9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kozun stopped all 64 shots he faced in a pair of starts against the Spokane Chiefs backstopping the Thunderbirds to a pair of victories and holding fourth place in the WHL’s Western Conference. Last Wednesday night he made 29 saves and earned second-star honors in a 4-0 win over the Chiefs in Spokane, then made 35 saves on Friday night in Seattle earning first-star honors in the 4-0 win over the visiting Chiefs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kozun was the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending Jan. 19 when he went 3-0-0-0 in three games with two shutouts.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kozun, a 19-year-old from Nipawin, Saskatchewan, is playing in his second full WHL season and was recently acquired by the Thunderbirds from the Kamloops Blazers. Since joining the Thunderbirds, Kozun has posted a 9-2-0-0 record including four shutouts in 11 games played with a goals-against-average of 1.51 and save percentage of .952.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
