The NHL announced Monday afternoon that Roman Josi has been named the NHL’s First Star of the Week.
The Swiss-born defender posted 9 assists over three games last week. To me, this is the most important part of Josi’s hot streak: “He then closed the week with three more helpers in a 6-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs March 19, Josi’s fourth consecutive outing with at least three points – a feat achieved by only one other defenseman in NHL history (Bobby Orr).” Josi is on pace for a 100-point season.
