Bauer Hockey Goaltender of the Month: Lukas Fürsten, Maine Nordiques

The 19-year-old netminder from Slovakia, Lukas Fürsten, showed off his prowess in the blue paint in the month of September. The 5’10 goaltender hit the ice in five contests for the Nordiques, spotlighting a 1.49 goals against average. His ability to prevent goals ranks him near the top of goaltenders in the league. He additionally features a .944 save percentage, stopping a total of 117 out of 124 shots in the first month of the season. What makes the netminder stand out among the rest in the league is his back-to-back shutout performances. He first shutout the New Jersey Titans in a 19-save performance and then went on to shutout the Fairbanks Ice Dogs on the first day of the Showcase in a 25-save fashion.

The goaltender went into detail on what it means to be back playing in the NAHL.

“I am happy to be back in the North American Hockey League, especially with the great group of guys we have. Looking forward to what the season holds.”

Fürsten is no stranger to the NAHL. He previously played in the League of Opportunity with the Danbury Hat Tricks and Philadelphia Rebels in the 2023-24 season.

Head Coach of the Maine Nordiques, Nick Skerlick, explains more about the excitement and anticipation of getting Fürsten on the roster.

"Lukas has been a guy we have wanted for 24 months. To see him in Maine is a long time coming. His constant compete day in and day out, as well as how he is as a teammate, is second to none.”
