(New York) Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby, St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich and Seattle Kraken goaltender Martin Jones were named the NHL’s Three Stars of the Week.
Crosby, 35, led the Bettman circuit with 11 points (4-7) in four games as the Penguins finished the week with a 3-1 record.
The two-career Hart Trophy holder has had two four-point nights along the way. He first scored two goals and added two assists to his record in a 6-4 win over the Minnesota Wild on Nov. 17, before registering a goal and three assists in a 5-3 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.
