Coyotes right wing Shane Doan, Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick and Penguins defenseman Kris Letang were named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the week ending Jan. 3.
Quick was the first star, Doan the second and Letang the third.
Doan led the NHL with five goals in three games to power the Coyotes (18-16-4, 40 points) to three of a possible six standings points.
He opened the week with his second career hat trick -- and first since Jan. 7, 2012 vs. NYI -- in a 7-5 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks Dec. 29. Doan then scored twice in a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets Dec. 31. In doing so, Doan -- who has spent his entire NHL career with the Coyotes/Jets -- moved past Dale Hawerchuk (379) and into sole possession of first place for the most goals in franchise history (381).
He finished the week without a point in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Edmonton Oilers Jan. 2. The 39-year-old Halkirk, Alta., native paces the Coyotes with 13 goals in 29 games this season (13-6-19) and also leads the club with six power-play goals
