Talbot, Scheifele, Burns named NHL's 3 stars of the week

A goalie, forward, and a defenseman round out the NHL's "Three Stars" for the week ending March 6.

Edmonton Oilers goalie Cam Talbot entered the week fresh off a 36-save effort in a 3-1 win against the New York Islanders, and the 28-year-old didn't slow down at all.

Talbot went a perfect 3-0-0 with a 0.65 GAA and .981 save percentage to earn first-star honors. His week was highlighted by a 35-save shutout against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele was named the second star after scoring a league-best six goals and adding an assist in four games. Now the top-line center, the 22-year-old recorded consecutive multi-goal games, including the first hat trick of his career against the Montreal Canadiens.

Third-star honors were given to San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns. He posted three goals and three assists in three games to lead all blue-liners in scoring, and helped his team win two of three games to further solidify the Sharks' playoff position in the Pacific.
