NEW YORK \u2013 Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon<\/a>, Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard<\/a>and Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson<\/a> have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” presented by GEICO for the week ending Nov. 9.<\/p>\n

FIRST STAR \u2013 NATHAN MacKINNON, C, COLORADO AVALANCHE<\/p>\n

MacKinnon topped the NHL with 4-6\u201410 in three contests to move into first place in both the Art Ross Trophy and Maurice \u201cRocket\u201d Richard Trophy races while propelling the League-leading Avalanche (10-1-5, 25 points) to a perfect week. He posted one assist in a 3-2 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning Nov. 4. MacKinnon then compiled 2-2\u20144, his 30th career game with at least four points, in a 9-1 triumph over the Edmonton Oilers Nov. 8. He capped the week with 2-3\u20145, his 11th career five-point effort, in a 5-4 overtime victory against the Vancouver Canucks Nov. 9. MacKinnon became the second player in Avalanche\/Nordiques history with at least four points on consecutive days, joining Marian Stastny (Oct. 20-21, 1982: 5-3\u20148 w\/ QUE), as well as the second NHL player in the past 25 years to achieve the feat for any team, after Sebastian Aho (Dec. 27-28, 2023: 1-7\u20148 w\/ CAR). The 30-year-old MacKinnon, the No. 1 overall pick from the 2013 NHL Draft, paces the NHL with 14 goals and 29 points through 16 total games this season (14-15\u201429). The 2023-24 Hart Memorial Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award winner, who has points in nine straight outings dating to Oct. 23 (8-11\u201419), also ranks among the 2025-26 leaders in even-strength points (1st; 21), shots on goal (1st; 71), even-strength goals (t-2nd; 9), even-strength assists (t-2nd; 12), plus\/minus (t-3rd; +13), power-play goals (t-5th; 5) and assists (t-6th; 15).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK \u2013 Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon, Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedardand Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":275993,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-275992","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
