McDavid, Allen, Connor named 3 stars of the week
Chalk up another accolade for Connor McDavid.
The Edmonton Oilers captain was named the NHL's first star of the week Monday after collecting 10 points over his last four appearances, including a four-point outing against the Ottawa Senators. McDavid sits four points ahead of Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov for the league lead in scoring with 99 points.
After collecting three straight victories, St. Louis Blues netminder Jake Allen is the NHL's second star of the week. The stretch saw Allen post three consecutive games in which he allowed a single goal, while turning aside 73 shots.
Winnipeg Jets rookie forward Kyle Connor is the NHL's third star of the week after he notched six points in three games, including overtime-winning goals over the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks. Connor ranks tied for first with Vancouver's Brock Boeser in rookie goal scoring with 29 tallies on the season.
