Talbot, Anisimov, Green named 3 stars of the week

The NHL announced its three stars of the week Monday, naming Cam Talbot, Artem Anisimov, and Mike Green as its winners.

Talbot, the starting goalie of the Edmonton Oilers, was named the NHL's first star after winning all three of his starts and posting an outstanding .970 save percentage, allowing just three goals over that stretch. Talbot and the Oilers sit atop the NHL standings, with a 5-1-0 record and 10 points in six games.

Chicago Blackhawks center Anisimov was named the second star following a pair of two-goal performances. Anisimov tallied two goals and two assists against the Philadelphia Flyers, and then scored two more goals versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. He finished the week with seven points in three games.

Green, the Detroit Red Wings blue-liner, was named the NHL's third star after a hat-trick night against the Ottawa Senators, the first by a Detroit defenseman since Nicklas Lidstrom accomplished the same feat in 2010. Green picked up two more points on the week, both assists, finishing with five points in four games.
