New York Islanders center John Tavares, Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Oscar Dansk and Ottawa Senatorscenter Jean-Gabriel Pageau have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending Oct. 29.
FIRST STAR – JOHN TAVARES, C, NEW YORK ISLANDERS
Tavares led the NHL with 6-1—7, including a pair of hat tricks, to power the Islanders (6-4-1, 13 points) to two wins in three starts. He posted 3-1—4, including the decisive goal and his 10th career four-point performance, in a 5-3 triumph over the Arizona Coyotes Oct. 24. After being held off the scoresheet in a 6-4 loss to the Minnesota Wild Oct. 26, Tavares added his eighth career hat trick in a 6-2 victory against the Nashville Predators Oct. 28. In doing so, he became the third player in Islanders history to record two hat tricks within a span of three team games – and the first to accomplish the feat since March 3-5, 1996 (Ziggy Palffy). The 27-year-old Mississauga, Ont., native ranks third in the NHL with nine goals in 11 outings this season, pacing the Islanders with 13 points overall.
SECOND STAR – OSCAR DANSK, G, VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Dansk went 2-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average, .968 save percentage and one shutout to lead the Golden Knights (8-1-0, 16 points) to a perfect week, continuing the best start by an expansion team in NHL history. He made 29 saves in a 4-2 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks Oct. 24. Dansk then stopped all 32 shots he faced to earn the first shutout in Golden Knights history in a 7-0 triumph over the Colorado Avalanche Oct. 27. The 23-year-old Stockholm, Sweden, native – who made his NHL debut Oct. 21 – is 3-0-0 with a 1.34 goals-against average, .959 save percentage and one shutout through his first three career appearances.
THIRD STAR – JEAN-GABRIEL PAGEAU, C, OTTAWA SENATORS
Pageau collected 1-5—6 as the Senators (5-1-5, 15 points) went 1-0-2 to extend their point streak to five games (2-0-3). He registered one assist in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings Oct. 24, followed by 1-2—3 (his fifth career three-point outing) in a 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Flyers Oct. 26. Pageau capped the week with two more helpers in a 5-4 shootout loss to the New Jersey Devils Oct. 27. The 24-year-old Ottawa native ranks fifth on the Senators with 1-7—8 in 11 contests this season.
