NHL | Vasilevskiy, Draisaitl and Pastrnak, stars of the week

(New York) Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, Edmonton Oilers center Leon Draisaitl, and Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak are the NHL’s three stars of the past week.


Vasilevskiy won all three of his starts, including two by shutout last week, to post a .990 save percentage. He made 99 saves on 100 throws.

Draisaitl tied for the Bettman League scoring lead last week with five goals and eight points in four games, all won by the Oilers as they secured their playoff berth.

The second-ranked NHL scorer with 120 points hit the 50-goal mark for the third time in his career.

Finally, Pastrnak added to his career-high by scoring five goals last week, including a hat-trick against the Pittsburgh Penguins. His 56 goals this season put him second in the NHL behind Connor McDavid with 62.
