The Cyclones' netminder picks up Goaltender of the Week honors for the first time this season.

The Cincinnati Cyclones have seen a resurgence in January, thanks in large part to the stellar goaltending of Pavel Cajan.

The Cyclones, in addition to the ECHL, announced on Monday the 6-foot-3, 185-pound netminder was named Warrior Hockey ECHL Goaltender of the Week for Jan. 20-26.

Cajan recorded a 2-0-0-0 week, recording victories over the Toledo Walleye and the Iowa Heartlanders this past week.

The 22-year-old native of Czechia records his first weekly league award for the 2024-25 season with his Goaltender of the Week recognition. The Cyclones netminder recorded 23 saves against the Walleye last Monday afternoon, en route to a 2-1 victory over the Central Division leaders. Four days later, Cajan would record another 23 saves in a 3-1 win over the Heartlanders and earn third star honors in the home victory.

Currently in his third professional season, Cajan has appeared in 19 games with Cincinnati in 2024-25. Just halfway through the season, Cajan has recorded single-season highs in games played, minutes played and saves in ECHL play.

Under contract to the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League, Cajan is 9-8-2 in 19 appearances with the Cyclones this season and is tied for third in the ECHL with a 2.11 goals-against average. He has also gone 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a save percentage of .936 in two appearances with the Monsters.

At the time of his victory against Iowa, Cajan had started in his eighth consecutive contest for Cincinnati. Cajan has a 7-1-1-0 record in January, with a shutout to his name following a 30-save performance over the Savannah Ghost Pirates on January 8.

Cincinnati next returns to action Wednesday night when they host the Greenville Swamp Rabbits at Heritage Bank Center.
