New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Tampa Bay goaltender Anders Lindback, Anaheim netminder John Gibson and Columbus center Ryan Johansen have been selected as the NHL's top players for the final week of the regular season.
Lindback was named the First Star after posting a record of 3-0-0 with a goals-against average of 0.67, a .975 save percentage and one shutout to help the Lightning capture home-ice advantage in their first-round playoff series against Montreal.
Gibson was also unbeaten in three starts last week with a 1.33 GAA, a .954 save percentage and one shutout to pick up the Second Star, as the Ducks earned the top seed in the Western Conference for the first time in franchise history.
Johansen earned the Third Star after compiling a pair of goals and four assists for six points, finding the scoresheet in four straight games, to help the Blue Jackets capture their second playoff berth in franchise history.
