Eichel, Lehner receive Star of the Week honors

Following a sweep of their three-game road trip in Western Canada, the Buffalo Sabres had two players recognized for their efforts on Monday afternoon. Jack Eichel and Robin Lehner were named the NHL's Second and Third Stars of the Week for the week ending on Jan. 28.
Eichel led the NHL with five points (2+3) in three outings, including the overtime winner in Calgary on Monday. His four points in Buffalo's 5-0 win over Edmonton on Tuesday matched a career-high, which he followed with a goal and two assists in his first career All-Star Game on Sunday.

Eichel has 25 points in 17 games dating back to his hat trick on Dec. 15, tied with Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon for the NHL lead during that span.
Lehner posted back-to-back shutouts for the first time in his career with 33 saves in Edmonton on Tuesday and 30 in Vancouver on Thursday. He has three shutouts this season and six during his career with the Sabres, placing him eighth in franchise history.

Buffalo's last back-to-back shutouts were logged by Ryan Miller on Feb. 29 and March 1, 2012. The Sabres' current shutout streak of 173:30 is their longest since Miller and Martin Biron combined to set a franchise record of 226:24 from Jan. 16 to 25, 2003.
Vancouver rookie Brock Boeser, who received All-Star MVP honors on Sunday, was named First Star of the Week.
The Sabres begin a five-game homestand at KeyBank Center against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night.
