Los Angeles Kings goaltender Mathieu Garon, who led all goaltenders in victories with a 9-3-0 record, 2.40 goals-against average and .924 save percentage, has been named the NHL Defensive Player of the Month for December.

Garon edged goaltenders Miikka Kiprusoff of the Calgary Flames, Manny Fernandez of the Minnesota Wild, Antero Niittymaki of the Philadelphia Flyers and Chris Osgood of the Detroit Red Wings for the award.

Garon posted six of his nine victories on the road and won four of four against divisional opponents.

Appearing in 28 of the Kings' 42 games this season, Garon has posted an 18-8-0 record, 2.67 goals-against average and .912 save percentage. The 27-year-old native of Chandler, Quebec is tied for fifth in the NHL in victories.
