Draisaitl's six-goal week earns him NHL first star honour
Oilers centre Leon Draisaitl, Flames goaltender Devin Cooley and Canadiens goaltender Jacob Fowler were named the NHL's three stars of the week after standout performances.
Edmonton Oilers centre Leon Draisaitl was named the NHL's first star of the week after scoring a league-best six goals and adding three assists over three games, helping the Oilers win twice and move into first place in the Pacific Division. The 30-year-old recorded his eighth career five-point game in a 6-5 shootout win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday and enters the new week on a six-game goal streak.
Calgary Flames goaltender Devin Cooley was named the second star after stopping 66 of 68 shots across two starts, posting a 1.00 goals-against average and .971 save percentage while helping the Flames extend their winning streak to three games.
Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jacob Fowler was named the third star after going 2-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average. He made 33 saves in a 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets at the 2026 Heritage Classic, becoming, at 21, the youngest goaltender to start an outdoor NHL game.
