New Jersey Devils rookie center Nico Hischier has been named the NHL's first star of the week, followed by Arizona Coyotes goalie Antti Raanta and Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele.
Hischier scored a goal in each of his four games from Feb. 12 to Feb. 18, adding three assists for seven points in four straight wins for the Devils.
Here's a look at Hischier's latest goal, scored Sunday against Carolina:
Raanta stopped 123 of 126 shots faced over four appearances last week, posting a 3-0-0 record, .976 save percentage, and one shutout (1-0 vs. Edmonton).
Scheifele also chipped in seven points (three goals, four assists), but only needed three games to do so. His best performance came in a comeback win over Washington on Feb. 13.
