The United States Hockey League (USHL) announced its Players of the Week for the First Round of the 2021-22 Clark Cup Playoffs. Among the trio of first-time winners was netminder Chase Clark, of the Muskegon Lumberjacks, who was named Goaltender of the Week award.

Clark backstopped a near perfect series for the Lumberjacks, stopping 64 of the 65 shots Cedar Rapids sent his way during the First Round matchup. The Williamsville, N.Y. native started off the series with a 31-save shutout on Monday night, his second of the season and first with Muskegon. The following night, the Quinnipiac University commit made 33 saves on 34 shots to cap off the series victory and send Muskegon to an Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup with the second-seed Dubuque Fighting Saints. Clark, who is a Washington Capitals prospect (2021, Round 6, #183), is 3-0-0-0 in his last four appearances with the Lumberjacks, accumulating a 0.966 save percentage and 1.20 goals against average in that time.
