Since the beginning of February, the rookie goaltender has posted a 5-2-1 record in eight appearances, along with a 2.73 goals against average and a .910 save percentage. Delia logged a career-high 46 saves during a 4-3 overtime loss to the Manitoba Moose on Feb. 2, and recently picked up his first professional shutout in a 34-save victory over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on March 3. On Monday, the 23-year-old was named the CCM/AHL Player of the Week, becoming the first IceHog to earn the award since fellow Fuel product Mac Carruth did in April 2016.
