Toronto Maple Leafs winger, Ilya Mikheyev, has returned from the thumb injury that has kept him sidelined all season and has tallied three goals in his first three games of the season.
He was named number one star of the game after scoring the game winning goal in the Toronto Maple Leafs game against the Edmonton Oilers, and number three star after his two goal game against the Ottawa Senators.
The Russian speedster lovingly known as “Soup man” and “Cobra” by fans and teammates has suffered some significant injuries during his first three NHL seasons, but his worst ailment to date may have been the dreaded sophomore slump.
