1st Star HALAK:
Today in Montreal, the NHL announced that Jaroslave Halak of Montreal is the 1st star of the week. Halak was the first the goaltender in 4 years to post back to back shutouts and I think that's why he won.“I think everyone deserves credit for these two shutouts,” said Halak. “We just played two tough games and the guys didn’t give the Flyers or the Sabres any good scoring chances. They were constantly blocking shots; they didn’t give them anything.”
2nd Star S.KOIVU:
This week former Montreal captain Saku Koivu has been named the second star of the week since he has been keeping the Ducks in the hunt for a playoff spot. He had four goals, four assists and a shootout winning goal this past week."We just need the points," Koivu said. " After a win we need to forget it as quick as possible and wait and be ready for the next one." SAKU KOIVU
has 49 points (19 goals, 30 assists) and he leads the team with 6 game winning goals.
3rd Star RASK:
T. Rask was named the NHL's 3rd star of the week due to great play that has kept the Bruins just 2 points back of Montreal for that 6th spot in the east."We're fighting for our lives right now," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "It's pretty obvious that those points are huge. That first point gave us something and we really had to work hard to get that second. Look around the league tonight. Teams that are chasing us also won. Every game has to be about desperation." Rask has just gave up 2 goals in 3 games this last week.
