Benn, Luongo, Giroux named NHL's 3 stars of the week

Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn, Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo, and Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux were named the NHL's three stars of the week Monday.

1st star - Benn

It's a shame the Stars were already out of postseason contention, because Benn had a week for the ages. He recorded two hat tricks in three games - becoming the seventh player in Stars history to do so - and seven goals in total during the final week of the season.

2nd star - Luongo

Luongo's dazzling performance was also all for not, as the Panthers were eliminated from the playoff race. The veteran netminder went 3-0-0 with a 1.59 goals-against average and .955 save percentage in four appearances.

3rd star - Giroux

Though Giroux was the third star of the week, his performance was much more meaningful than the other two. He collected five goals and two assists in three games, including his first career hat trick in the Flyers' playoff-clinching game against the Rangers.
