New York Islanders center John Tavares, Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Oscar Dansk and Ottawa Senators center Jean-Gabriel Pageau have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending Oct. 29.
FIRST STAR – JOHN TAVARES, C, NEW YORK ISLANDERS
Tavares led the NHL with 6-1—7, including a pair of hat tricks, to power the Islanders
(6-4-1, 13 points) to two wins in three starts. He posted 3-1—4,
including the decisive goal and his 10th career four-point performance,
in a 5-3 triumph over the Arizona Coyotes Oct. 24. After being held off
the scoresheet in a 6-4 loss to the Minnesota Wild Oct. 26, Tavares
added his eighth career hat trick in a 6-2 victory against the Nashville
Predators Oct. 28. In doing so, he became the third player in Islanders
history to record two hat tricks within a span of three team games –
and the first to accomplish the feat since March 3-5, 1996 (Ziggy Palffy). The 27-year-old Mississauga, Ont., native ranks third in the NHL with nine goals in 11 outings this season, pacing the Islanders with 13 points overall.
SECOND STAR – OSCAR DANSK, G, VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Dansk went 2-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average, .968 save percentage and one shutout to lead the Golden Knights
(8-1-0, 16 points) to a perfect week, continuing the best start by an
expansion team in NHL history. He made 29 saves in a 4-2 victory against
the Chicago Blackhawks Oct. 24. Dansk then stopped all 32 shots he
faced to earn the first shutout in Golden Knights
history in a 7-0 triumph over the Colorado Avalanche Oct. 27. The
23-year-old Stockholm, Sweden, native – who made his NHL debut Oct. 21 –
is 3-0-0 with a 1.34 goals-against average, .959 save percentage and
one shutout through his first three career appearances.
THIRD STAR – JEAN-GABRIEL PAGEAU, C, OTTAWA SENATORS
Pageau collected 1-5—6 as the Senators
(5-1-5, 15 points) went 1-0-2 to extend their point streak to five
games (2-0-3). He registered one assist in a 3-2 shootout loss to the
Los Angeles Kings Oct. 24, followed by 1-2—3 (his fifth career
three-point outing) in a 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Flyers Oct. 26.
Pageau capped the week with two more helpers in a 5-4 shootout loss to
the New Jersey Devils Oct. 27. The 24-year-old Ottawa native ranks fifth
on the Senators with 1-7—8 in 11 contests this season.

Any Oiler fans notice how well Eberle is playing alongside Tavares? Do you now realize how bad Chiarelli got fleeced in that deal?
Eberle has had an awful season anon #1. He got his first goal of the season 10 games in, on weekend. That's garbage when you're supposed to score goals.
9 points in 11 games. Yeah, Ebs is having an awful season.
Be aware that the Eberle hater is from Moosejaw. Go Pats!
