Boston Bruins, Phoenix Coyotes and Nashville Predators Get Three Stars for January – NHL Updates
Congratulations to Boston Bruins for having there centre, Patrice Bergeron, named the NHL first Star for the month of January.
Having been started in 1936, the Three Stars Award has become a tradition in its own meaning.
Being the leading scorer of the NHL with 17 points which consist of 8 goals and 9 assists, Bergeron led his team to the NHL All-Star break with a 4-game multiple points streak, placing them at 1st position of the Northeastern Conference and 3rd
overall in the Eastern Conference.
He was also named the second Star of the Week in January. Boston Bruins has decided to donate $1,000 to a youth charitable trust of his choice.
The 24-year-old defenseman of Phoenix Coyotes, Keith Yandle, has been named the second Star for the month of January.
Also registering 17 points with 3 goals and 14 assists, Yandle has been a priceless asset for Coyotes, placing them at sixth place over the last year Stanley Cup final winners, Chicago Blackhawks.
The young All-Star is expected to set new records and place his old setbacks aside and increase the level of his performance this season.
Last but not the least, of course the Third and final Star of the month of January, Pekka Rinne, Nashville Predators’ Finnish goalie.
Having one of the highest, 2nd in the NHL to be more exact, saves percentages in the league, .929 , Rinne is all deserving of this honour.
Ranking first in the NHL for goals against average, 1.71, proof of his almost 4 shutout games, allowing only one goal.
His season started of great, winning 7 out of his first 8 games, having played 3 at home.
Players come and go but some are remembered forever in history.
The Three Star Award has a long history and is always a desire to be acclaimed. Being inducted in the list along with some players such as the greatest Wayne Gretzsky, Maurice “The Rocket” Richard and Tim Horton is a dream that all players wish that will
come true for them someday.
