Anderson, Cammalleri, Burns tabbed NHL stars of the week
Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson, New Jersey Devils winger Mike Cammalleri, and San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns have been named the NHL’s "Three Stars" for the week ending Nov. 27.
Here's what they did to earn the honors:
Anderson
Anderson led the NHL with four wins, recording a .960 save percentage and one shutout in four appearances, propelling the Senators into second place in the Atlantic Division.
He made 36 saves in a 4-3 victory over the league-leading Montreal Canadiens on Nov. 22, before allowing just two goals across his next three starts, including a shutout of the high-scoring New York Rangers on Sunday.
His wife Nicholle, meanwhile, continues to undergo throat cancer treatment.
Cammalleri
In his return to the lineup following a personal leave, Cammalleri scored four goals and added four assists in three games, including his sixth career four-point performance in Wednesday's game against Toronto.
Cammalleri missed six contests while his five-year-old daughter dealt with a severe case of pneumonia.
Burns
Fresh off signing a big contract extension, Burns led all defensemen in scoring last week with two goals and four assists in four games.
He ranks first among all players at his position with 30 points through 22 contests.
