Vokoun Among NHL’s January Stars
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on February 3rd, 2010
“It wasn’t exactly a bold prediction, but Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard correctly forecast after Sunday’s win that goalie Tomas Vokoun would be the team’s defensive player of the month.
Vokoun earned a more prestigious honor Monday.
he 33-year-old veteran was named the NHL’s Third Star for January. Capitals winger Alexander Ovechkin was the First Star while Canucks center Henrik Sedin was Second Star.
Vokoun capped one of the best months in his career Sunday by notching his fourth shutout in January. He posted an 8-4-2 record with a 1.49 goals-against average and .956 save percentage and allowed more than two goals in just three of his 14 starts.

Vokoun made his 16th consecutive start Monday against the Ducks and coach Pete DeBoer plans to go with him the final five games before the Olympic break. He won’t get any rest then.
