ARLINGTON, Va. – Capitals forward Tom Wilson has been named the NHL’s Third Star for the week ending March 9, the NHL announced today.

Steven Stamkos had eight points in three games for the Nashville Predators last week, including a hat trick vs the Chicago Blackhawks

NEW YORK — Colorado Avalanche centre Nathan MacKinnon, Nashville Predators centre Steven Stamkos and Washington Capitals right-wing Tom Wilson were named the NHL's three stars of the week.

Last night, the Carolina Hurricanes faced the league-leading Winnipeg Jets in their first game since the NHL Trade Deadline and the first game of the post-Mikko Rantanen era, which saw the Canes welcome newly acquired forwards Logan Stankoven and Mark Jankowski into the mix.

Mark Jankowski and Logan Stankoven each scored and Frederik Andersen was stout in net to lead the Hurricanes to a fourth straight win.

Mark Jankowski scored two goals in his first game with the Carolina Hurricanes and fellow newcomer Logan Stankoven also scored in a 4-2 victory against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday in Raleigh, N.C.
