Canes’ McGinn is NHL third star of week

Coming off the best week of his NHL career, Carolina Hurricanes forward Brock McGinn on Monday was named the third star of the week by the NHL.

McGinn, 22, scored four goals and added three assists, with a plus-5 plus/minus rating, as the Canes defeated Columbus, Buffalo and the New York Islanders during a homestand that ended Saturday.

McGinn scored a goal as the Canes topped the Blue Jackets 5-3, then had two goals in a 5-2 win over the Sabres, including the game-winner. Against the Islanders, he had his first career four-point game — a goal and three assists — in the 7-4 victory.
