Two veteran Finnish goaltenders were among the three players honored by the NHL for their stellar play last week.

Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins and Pekka Rinne of the Nashville Predators were named first and third star, respectively, the league announced Monday.

Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele was named second star.

Rask went 4-0-0 with a 0.75 GAA and a save percentage of .970, posting a pair of shutouts.

Scheifele notched three goals and three assists in four games, matching a career high with four points in a victory over the Dallas Stars last Tuesday.
