Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon, Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck, and Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the week ending Jan. 21.
MacKinnon recorded four goals - including two game-winners - and two assists in three games as the Avs extended their win streak to nine games. He sits second in NHL scoring with 23 goals and 36 assists for 59 points on the season.
Hellebuyck stopped 59 of 60 shots over two games, posting a 2-0-0 record with .983 save percentage and one shutout (versus Vancouver). Last week's performance was a highlight in what's been a stellar campaign to date.
Connor Hellebuyck established a @NHLJets / Thrashers franchise record for fewest appearances to reach 25 wins in a season (39 GP), eclipsing the mark of 49 games set by Kari Lehtonen in 2006-07 (w/ ATL). #NHLStats #VANvsWPG pic.twitter.com/dU7hQSSFdp
