The Portland Pirates are sticking with the hot goaltender in JP Lamoureux. The netminder has started the last four consecutive games for the Pirates, resulting in a single loss and a three-game winning streak.

Portland swept the Worcester Sharks in a home-and-home series, defeating them 5-3 on Nov. 18 and 3-1 on Nov. 20, with Lamoureux making 61 saves in the process. The Pirates followed that up with a 4-2 win against Norfolk on Nov. 21

Lamoureux made a total of 102 saves and allowed eight goals in the four-game stretch, and currently has a 2.28 GAA and .916 SV% through the month of November.
