NEW YORK — Seattle goaltender Martin Jones, Detroit left-wing Lucas Raymond and Tampa Bay right-wing Nikita Kucherov have been named the NHL’s three stars of the week.

Jones went 3-0-0 with a 1.67 goals-against average, .933 save percentage and two shutouts to help the Kraken to a four-win week and a sweep of a seven-game road trip.

He opened the week with consecutive shutouts, making 21 saves in a 4-0 victory over Montreal on Jan. 9 and 27 stops in a 3-0 win against Boston on Thursday.

It marked the second time in Jones’ NHL career that he has posted back-to-back shutouts.

Jones then turned aside 22 shots in an 8-5 win over Chicago on Saturday as the Kraken became the first team in NHL history to sweep a road trip of seven or more games.
