Calgary's Iginla earns NHL's First Star

Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla, San Jose Sharks goaltender Evgeni Nabokov and Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger were named the NHL's 'Three Stars' for the week ending November 8.

Iginla recorded four goals over three games last week, including a pair of game-winning scores: an overtime winner against Dallas and the deciding score in a victory over the Rangers,

Nabokov, who earned the third star a week ago, notched second-star honors by going 2-0-1 with a goals-against average of 0.95 and picked up his first shutout of the season, 5-0, over Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Pronger picked up the third star after recording a goal and four assists in three games. The 35-year-old has a four-game point scoring streak and is a plus-11 in 14 games this season, his first in Philadelphia.
