Karlsson, Raanta, Eichel named 3 stars of the week

A dream season for William Karlsson just keeps getting better.

The Vegas Golden Knights forward was named the NHL's first star of the week after he pocketed three goals and six assists in his last four appearances, including two shorthanded markers. The stretch included a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks in which Karlsson recorded two points and the Golden Knights clinched a playoff berth.

Arizona Coyotes netminder Antti Raanta is the NHL's second star of the week after coming away with three victories in as many appearances. The trio of games saw Raanta allow a combined three goals, while he also picked up his third shutout of the season in a 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Blues.

A five-point outing over the Nashville Predators saw the week's third star, Buffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel, extend his point streak to three goals and five assists in his last three games. Eichel began the stretch with two goals over the Toronto Maple Leafs, including the game-winning tally.
