NHL - Henrik Lundqvist was rewarded today for his stellar play by being named the third star of the week in the NHL. With a 3-0-1 record for the week of April 1st-7th, Henrik's 48 save performance Saturday night against the Hurricanes was the icing on the cake for earning a "star of the week" title. In this marvelous week that saw him get 4 starts, Lundqvist had a 1.22 Goals Against Average, and a .962 save percentage.
Henrik looks to be returning to his Vezina Trophy winning form from a season ago. This is perfect timing as the rest of the New York Rangers as a whole seem to be following suit. The team has steadily become more consistent showing signs reminiscent of last year's Atlantic Division Champions. The Rangers have always relied heavily on Lundqvist to win big games for them, and much like years past, he seems to be answering the bell. Congrats Henrik on a your well deserved, league-wide, recognition for your excellent play.
Also named to the stars of the week were Alex Ovechkin (#1 Washington) and Brian Elliott (#2 St. Louis).
