Tomas Kaberle may have copped NHL "first star of the week"
honours, but somewhere along the line Lee Stempniak deserves an
assist for the award.
Having led the NHL in scoring last week with 12 points (two goals,
10 assists) in four road games, Kaberle beat out runner-up Pekka
Rinne, goaltender with the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks
goalie Evgeni Nabokov, who copped third star honours.
Lending a helping hand in Kaberle's success was Stempniak, who
recorded three goals and three assists in that same four-game
period. Many of those points were accrued while manning the point
alongside Kaberle on the Leafs power play, which entered play
yesterday as the No. 1 unit in the league.
