Sztuska helped the Petes get back in the winning column, stopping 45 of the 46 shots in a 4-1 road win over the Owen Sound Attack.

The Petes goaltender often faces a lot of shots as he has taken at least 40 in 15 of his last 17 starts. Five of his 10 wins have at least 40 saves this season.

The 19-year-old Mississauga native has a season record of 10-22-4-1, posting a 3.86 goals-against average and .906 save percentage while facing the league’s third-highest total of 1,530 shots.

The Petes selected him in the fifth round, 94th overall, of the 2020 OHL Priority Selection from the Toronto Titans U16 AAA program. The 6-foot, 181-lb. netminder has appeared in 63 games over three seasons, registering a 3.70 goals-against average and .902 save percentage. Sztuska won an OHL Championship with Peterborough last spring.

The Petes return home to take on the Barrie Colts on Tuesday, wearing their CHL Jersey Contest winning designs. The game jerseys will be auctioned after the game with proceeds going to the President’s Choice Children’s Charity. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
