St. Louis Blues winger Vladimir Tarasenko, Florida Panthers center Vincent Trocheck, and New Jersey Devils goalie Keith Kinkaid have been named the NHLβs "Three Stars" for the week ending March 13.
Here's a look at how they did it:
- Tarasenko recorded three goals and three assists in three games for the surging Blues. He sits in a tie for fifth in the NHL with 33 goals.
- Trocheck matched Tarasenko in points with six, five of which were assists, tops among players last week. He matched a career-high with three assists and four points in one game, a 6-2 win over Ottawa on Saturday.
- Kinkaid posted a 2-0-0 record, 0.48 goals-against average, and .981 save percentage. He also earned his second career shutout with a 3-0 decision over San Jose. The other win came against Los Angeles.
Overlooked this week was Montreal's Alex Galchenyuk, who scored four goals and added an assist in three games. Zero points in a loss to Minnesota on Saturday likely eliminated him from contention.
