New York, NY (My Sportsbook) - Calgary Flames forward Jarome Iginla, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Petr Sykora and Florida Panthers goaltender Tomas Vokoun have been selected as the NHL's 'Three Stars' for the week ending March 16. Iginla picked up First Star honors by leading all players in scoring with five goals and eight points in four games. The 30-year-old Calgary captain became the franchise's all-time leading goal scorer with a tally in a 7-3 win over St. Louis last Monday, scored twice in a loss to Atlanta on Wednesday, and hit the net once more in a 4-2 win in Chicago on Sunday. Second star went to the Czech Sykora, who registered three goals and three assists in only two games. The veteran notched the game-winner in both the Pens' 7-3 win over Buffalo on Wednesday and their 7-1 win over the Flyers on Sunday. In that game, Sykora scored a season-high four points (2G, 2A). Vokoun garnered Third Star honors after finishing the week 3-0-0 with a 1.67 goals-against average as the Panthers extended their win streak to seven games. His best performance came in a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers on Friday, making 32 stops. For the season, Vokoun leads all netminders in shots faced (2,031) and saves (1,862).
