Every Monday morning Adam Gretz and Chris Botta recap the best performances and plays of the week. The Top Individual Performances of the Week
1. Ed Jovanovski, Phoenix vs. Nashville, Thursday: The bruising defenseman they used to call "Jovocop" in Florida is counted on to score goals. But his first career hat trick -- in his 979th NHL game -- earns him Performance of the Week. Jovanovski's three goals, in a 4-3 win over the Predators, was also the first hat trick by a defenseman in the 2,415-game history of the Winnipeg Jets-Phoenix Coyotes franchise.
2. Raffi Torres, Vancouver at Edmonton, Wednesday: This is the dream of many an NHLer, and the well-travelled Torres has a few former teams: go into one of your former workplaces and tear the joint a part. In a 4-3 win for the Canucks over the Oilers in Edmonton, Torres had a hat trick that included a pair of power play goals in the third period. "Felt great," said Torres, who remains a humble enough pro to resist rubbiing it in. "A great win for us."
