NEW YORK — Calgary goaltender Jacob Markstrom, Florida goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and Montreal centre Nick Suzuki have been named the NHL’s three stars of the week.
Markstrom guided the Flames to three straight road victories with a 2.00 goals-against average and .939 save percentage to lift the Flames within three points of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
He made at least 35 saves in two of the wins. He stopped 37 shots, including 15 in the third period, in a 5-3 win over New Jersey on Thursday and made 35 stops, including 16 in the third, in a 5-2 win over the New York Islanders on Saturday.
Markstrom has posted a 16-7-1 mark since Nov. 7.
