Player - of - the - Week
MONTREAL, Que. — Last week the Montreal Canadiens continued to pace the league with three wins in four games. Their offensive power was still murderous for defending goalers, but spunky little Charlie Hodge, who has been a standout in goal for the past 14 games, suddenly made it as hard to score on the Champs as it is to stop them. In four games last week the Canadiens won three and lost one. In three games the opposition, Chicago, Toronto and Detroit were able to score only one goal.

Cheevers led the junior guardians in goals-against average during the 1959-60 season with a mark of 3.08 in 36 games and he also topped the list in shutouts with five. This year he ranks second, behind Wayne Rutledge of Niagara Falls Flyers with 3.09 goals against in 11…
