Anaheim Ducks fans, its time again for Pucks of a Feather’s three stars of the week. We’ve picked this week’s outstanding performers to spotlight for you.

Honorable Mention – Several

The Anaheim Ducks had a good week, so its no surprise more than three players get nominated. They did a good job of spreading the offense around, not waiting for the top line to carry the load.

Ryan Getzlaf – The captain would have probably made the top three had he played in the Winnipeg game (dang flu-like symptoms). In the two bookend games of the week, he was very good. He had two assists in the win over Calgary and added another helper on last night’s game-winner in overtime.

Corey Perry – Perry picked up an assist on Francois Beauchemin‘s goal in Calgary on an all-around beautiful play. Sunday he was a key part of Anaheim’s comeback in Edmonton. First, he assisted on Adam Henrique’s third-period goal. He followed that up with a goal of his own less than four minutes later to tie the score at three apiece.

Francois Beauchemin – Hey, he had two points in Calgary and finished +2 for the week. Seriously, Beauchemin admirably stepped up in the absence of both Kevin Bieksa and Josh Manson and played good third pairing defense.
