Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews, Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews, and Dallas Stars netminder Ben Bishop have been named the NHL's three stars of the season's opening week.

Matthews has been lights out to start the new campaign, recording five goals and three assists in the Maple Leafs' first three games. He netted the overtime winner in the club's season opener and currently leads the NHL in both goals and points.

Toews appears poised for a major bounce-back season, as he's matched Matthews' five goals and has tacked on an assist for the Blackhawks during their 2-0-1 start.

Bishop has been a brick wall for the Stars early on, stopping 62 of 63 shots in his first two starts of the season.
