The Canadian publication The Hockey News has chosen three stars of the week in the National Hockey League (NHL). This is reported on the website.

The first star of the week was the Russian goalkeeper of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Andrei Vasilevsky. “He shows that he is still in his prime and can become a driving force for his team,” the journalists noted.

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart was named the second star of the week. The third star was San Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl.

Previously, Vasilevsky topped the rating of the best goalkeepers in the league according to the NHL Network. He has held the top spot for five years. Behind him are New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin and New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin.
