SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... The American Hockey League announced today that Milwaukee Admirals right wing Darren Haydar has been named the CCM Vector/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending January 2, 2005.

Haydar began the week by recording a goal and an assist in the Admirals' 4-3 loss to San Antonio on Monday. Two nights later in Houston, he picked up a goal and three assists in the second period of a 4-1 win, helping the Admirals end a three-game losing streak.
