The NHL’s weekly awards were announced on Monday and a familiar name popped up. In his first full week back from injury, Nikita Kucherov was named the third star of the week by the league. All-Star snub Brad Marchand and Marc-Andre Fleury were the other two stars of the week that ended January 16th.
Kucherov appeared in three games, all wins, and posted 7 points (3 goals, 4 assists). All three goals came against the Buffalo Sabres. He followed that up with two assist games against the Vancouver Canucks and Dallas Stars.
