Quick, Doan and Letang named 'Stars of the Week'
Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick, Arizona Coyotes right wing Shane Doan and Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the week ending Jan. 3.

The Washington Capitals will be without one key center Thursday when they face the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena (6 p.m. ET; FS-CR, CSN-DC), and they hope it won't be two.

The Capitals, who will be aiming for their 10th consecutive win, lost third-line center Jay Beagle to an upper-body injury Wednesday in a 5-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres. Coach Barry Trotz said Beagle would need surgery and miss an extended period of time; he was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

First-line center Nicklas Backstrom also left the game with an upper-body injury, but Trotz said he would make the trip to Carolina and was a possibility to be in the lineup.

The Florida Panthers can earn their sixth consecutive victory for the first time in seven years and possibly take over first place in the Atlantic Division with a win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday at BB&T Center (6 p.m. ET; FS-O, FS-F).

Florida (19-12-4) hasn't had a winning streak of more than five straight since winning seven in a row March 2-16, 2008. The Panthers and Boston Bruins each have 42 points, one behind the Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Canadiens.

The Panthers are 11-3-0 since Nov. 27.

The New Jersey Devils will look to string together consecutive wins for the first time in six weeks when they face the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; MSG+, FS-CR).

The Devils, who defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 on Tuesday in their final game before the NHL's three-day holiday break, can pass the idle Ottawa Senators in the Eastern Conference standings into the second wild card for the Stanley Cup Playoffs with two points. Their most recent winning streak came when they defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Nov. 12 and the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-0 on Nov. 14.

"We talked about it again today that we felt good about that win in Detroit, so we want to keep that good feeling going and some of the good things we did," goaltender Cory Schneider told Northjersey.com. "This is the time of year now where you've got to start to putting together streaks if you want to be a playoff team. We can be a good team or a nice team, but unless we start kind of distancing ourselves from the teams behind us or start catching teams in front of us, it's not going to mean much."

Arizona Coyotes rookie goaltender Louis Domingue is expected to make his second straight start Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Jobing.com Arena (9 p.m. ET; TSN4, FS-A).

Domingue will look to pick up where he left off Saturday at home against the New York Islanders when he made 25 saves for his first shutout in a 1-0 victory. Domingue (23 years, 9 months) became the youngest Coyotes goalie to post a shutout since Robert Esche (23 years, 1 month) against the Carolina Hurricanes on Feb. 16, 2001.

"Right now we're in the position, 'You win, you're in.' That's the mindset we've got right now [with the goalie situation]," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "[Domingue] won. He's in. You need the key saves and that's what Louie was able to bring [Saturday]."

Domingue and Anders Lindback have been splitting duties with Mike Smith expected to miss 8-10 weeks after having abdominal surgery Dec. 22.
