A month into the NHL season, and we're seen some great hockey that's been played already. The three stars were hard to pick this week, but once again a goalie came up on top and takes the #1 spot. the other two spots were hard to choose, but I choose guys who not only had good statistics, but impacted their team in a major way as well. Here are my 3 Stars of the Week:
1. Marc-Andre Fleury, Goalie, Pittsburgh Penguins
3-0, 1.00 GAA, .959 SV%, 2 Shutouts
2. Vladamir Tarasenko, Right Wing, St. Louis Blues
7 Goals, 2 Assists, 9 Points, +6, 22 Shots on Goal
3. Chris Kunitz, Left Wing, Pittsburgh Penguins
5 Goals, 3 Assists, 8 Points, +5, 2 Game Winning Goals
We're now a couple weeks into the NHL season, and teams and players are starting to reveal their true identity. It was quite the entertaining last week in hockey, making it very hard to pick my stars for the week. A few great goaltending performances, as well as a few players who all had great weeks on the stat sheet. It was a hard decision; but here are my NHL 3 Stars for the week: 
The NHL season is in full swing, and so far it's been a great week and a half of exciting games. We've seen our usual all-star players perform, and powerhouse teams dominate, but the best part about every season is the surprises. There's been a few so far, but it's really still too early to tell if some of the unexpected players putting up points are for real, or if teams like the Predators or Islanders will continue to win and contend for their conferences this season. What we do know; is who played well these past ten days and earned recognition around the NHL.
