The Boston Bruins kicked-off the week (Oct. 17-23) with home-and-home victories over the Washington Capitals to stretch their win-streak to four games.

Then King Henrik Lundqvist came to town and backstopped the New York Rangers to a 3-2 triumph over the Black and Gold.

Nonetheless, the B’s are in the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference with a 4-2-0 record, but third in a surprisingly tight Northeast Division.

In victory and in defeat, three Boston players clearly stood out as the best of the best. Below are the Three Stars of the Week | Oct. 17-23, 2010.

3. Nathan Horton

Last week: 2-2-4 totals, plus-2, 5 SOG, 5 Hits, over 16 minutes of ice time per game.
