Following three consecutive three-point games, Vegas Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault was named the NHL's first star of the week Monday. Vegas has now won five consecutive games for the second time this season, thanks in large part to Marchessault's recent efforts.
Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky earned second star honors. He posted a 3-0-0 record with a .950 save percentage and one shutout last week to stay ahead of the pack in the early Vezina Trophy race.
Finally, Washington Capitals sniper Alex Ovechkin was named third star of the week after netting four goals in five games, including a hat trick in Saturday's win over the Maple Leafs.
