January has been full of high highs and low lows for the Anaheim Ducks. Despite beginning the month with five-consecutive losses, they found their mojo again mid-month and posted seven wins in eight games. Six of those wins were against Western Conference opponents, which are all the more critical as we near the latter portion of the regular season.<\/p>\n

While the recent wins were a team effort, a handful of players stand out among the flock. My three stars for the month of January: Lukas Dostal<\/a>, Mikael Granlund<\/a>, and Beckett Sennecke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThird Star: Sennecke<\/p>\n

Sennecke has been a consistent performer this month, registering at least a point in nine of 13 games<\/a>. The rookie also had three multi-point performances in that stretch, notching two points each in games against the Los Angeles Kings and Edmonton Oilers and three versus the Calgary Flames. The latter game was a monumental one for Sennecke, too; he scored his first-career hat trick in that game, completing the feat in overtime to get his team a win.<\/p>\n

The rookie forward spent roughly 19 minutes on ice per game this month and received just eight penalty minutes. He is fast, accurate, disciplined, and an absolutely incredible player to watch. His consistency, timing, and hockey IQ get rewarded often, and the value he adds to the team is unmatched. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSecond Star: Granlund<\/p>\n

The veteran forward was an unexpected pickup for the Ducks, but he has proven himself to be a valuable member of the squad. This month is no exception, as he has posted five goals and six assists for 11 pointss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"January has been full of high highs and low lows for the Anaheim Ducks.
