Loui Eriksson Named to NHL Three Stars
Loui Eriksson of the Dallas Stars was named the “First Star” in the NHL’s “Three Stars” this week as league recognized his scoring accomplishments for the week of December 15-21. In an up and down month for the Dallas Stars, Louis Eriksson scored six times in a week that netted the Dallas Stars two wins and an unfortunate overtime loss to Ottawa.
Eriksson started the week with two goals in an overtime win against the Phoenix Coyotes. His second goal was the overtime game winner. The Swedish born player followed the Phoenix performance by logging his first hat trick in the NHL in a win over Columbus. He finished the week with a goal against Ottawa in front of a home crowd at The American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX.
Loui Eriksson congratulated by teammates during scoring streak.
The 23 year old NHL forward came to the Dallas Stars organization as a 2nd round draft choice (33rd overall) in the 2003 NHL entry draft. He spent the majority of the 2006 and 2007 seasons with the previous AHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars, the Iowa Stars. After transitioning to the NHL, Loui Eriksson is now proving his scoring leadership as he skates along side a talented and veteran Dallas Stars forward lineup in the 2008-2009 season.
Jeff Carter of the Philadelphia Flyers and Patrik Elias of the New Jersey Devils were named to the “Second Star” and “Third Star” positions.
