Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson and Boston Bruins right winger David Backes have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending the 2017 calendar year.
Hellebuyck went 3-0-0 with a 1.67 goals-against average, .952 save percentage and one shutout and his performance has the Jets sitting atop the Central Division.
Las Vegas’ Karlsson notched 4-1-5 in three games to help the Golden Knights to one heck of a week.
Backes paced the NHL with 3-3-6 in three games and the Boston Bruins to a 2-0-1 week.
