One night earlier in Friday's 5-1 win, Black had the primary assist on goals by Michael Mesic in the first period and Stephen Castagna in the third period. After Castagna's goal, Black scored himself on the power play at the 7:49 mark.

This is his first career Atlantic Hockey weekly award.

Swedin is the Goalie of the Week for the second time this season.
