NHL 3 stars of the week

The NHL has named the 3 stars of the week today, this week it is true as describing these three as stars. This week Jarome Iginla, Chris Pronger and Evgeni Nabokov take home the honors.

First star, Jarome Iginla — After being challenged by his head coach, Iginla took the message to heart, and his play on the ice certainly showed it. He had 4 goals in three games, including a pair of game-winners, and it earned him recognition as the NHL’s First Star of the Week.

Second star, Evgeni Nabokov — The San Jose goalie earned his first shutout victory of the season when he blanked Pittsburgh, 5-0. That capped a week in which he went 2-0-1 and allowed just three goals in 190 minutes — a 0.95 goals-against average.

Third star, Chris Pronger – Even at age 35, there’s no slowing the Philadelphia defenseman. He has a four-game point-scoring streak, and had 4 assists and 5 points in three games last week. Pronger also was a plus-5 while average more than 25 minutes per game of ice time.
