The Niskayuna native recorded a career-high 44 saves to backstop the ECHL's Manchester Monarchs to a 2-0 win over the Adirondack Thunder at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, NH.

Stevens, who was named the game's first star, was especially effective in the third period when he made 18 saves.

In 11 games this season, the 22-year-old is 6-4 with a 2.53 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage.

Stevens signed with the Florida Panthers as an undrafted free agent in March following the completion of his Union career.
