During the week Berra posted a 0.50 goals against average and .981 save percentage for the Springfield Thunderbirds as he earned his league-leading (tied) third shutout with a 31-save performance against the Binghamton Senators on Nov. 12.

Thompson's goal was his fourth of the season, tying Logan Shaw for the team-lead in goals.
