Wheeler, Price, Faksa named 3 stars of the week

Blake Wheeler, Carey Price, and Radek Faksa have earned the NHL's three stars of the week.

Wheeler received first-star honors after he wrapped the week with two goals and eight assists in four appearances. That included three separate three-point nights by the Winnipeg Jets captain. Wheeler sits fourth in NHL scoring with 35 points in 27 games.

As second star of the week, Price has made up for lost time since returning from injury, winning all four games last week. The Montreal Canadiens netminder posted a 1.50 GAA and .950 save percentage over the stretch. Price currently owns a five-game win streak.

Faksa was named third star after he tallied five goals and added two assists in his last four outings. That performance saw the Dallas Stars forward notch his first career hat trick against the Vegas Golden Knights. Faksa has collected 16 points in 26 games this season.
