Also honored was Dallas Stars defenseman Sergei Zubov and Philadelphia Flyers right wing Joffrey Lupul.

Iginla scored a league-leading seven goals last week as Calgary won four consecutive road games. He netted three goals, including the game-winner, in a 9-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday.

The Flames captain also tallied his second four-point game of the week with two goals and two assists, including the game-winning tally, in a 5-3 win over the St. Louis Blues on Sunday.

Zubov earned "Second Star" status after scoring a goal and tallying seven assists in helping the Stars post three consecutive victories.
