In two games, Boeser picked up a pair of goals, with both tallies coming against the Los Angeles Kings. It brought his total to 24 goals on the year, the most among NHL rookies.
Meanwhile, a pair of Buffalo Sabres picked up second and third star honors.
Sabres forward Jack Eichel is the second star of the week after he netted five points in three games, including an overtime winner against the Calgary Flames and a four-point night versus the Edmonton Oilers.
Eichel's teammate and Sabres netminder Robin Lehner was named the third star of the week after posting back-to-back shutouts over the Oilers and Canucks. Lehner combined for 63 saves in the two contests.
