UMaine’s surging goalie is key part of team’s early rebuilding effort

There have been several components to the University of Maine hockey team’s four-game winning streak and one of the most important ones has been the play of junior goalie Victor Ostman.

Ostman allowed just three goals in those victories and has stopped 73 of 76 shots for a sparkling save percentage of .961. That has lowered goals-against average to 1.94, which is eighth best among goalies at the 60 Division I schools. His .922 save percentage is 18th.

UMaine is allowing 2.4 goals per game, tying it with Minnesota State . . .
