Rasmus Dahlin has been named the NHL's Third Star of the Week for the week ending January 8, the league announced Monday.
Dahlin recorded a career-high five points (2+3) in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild. He tied the game with under three minutes to go and then helped set up Victor Olofsson's overtime winner.
He finished the week with six points (2+4) in two games, leading all defensemen and tying Ottawa's Tim Stutzle for points per game (3.00) in that timeframe.
