NEW YORK (Dec. 2, 2019) – Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon, Calgary Flames goaltender David Rittich and San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending Dec. 1.
FIRST STAR – NATHAN MacKINNON, C, COLORADO AVALANCHE
MacKinnon topped the NHL with 3-6—9 in three games to power the Avalanche (16-8-2, 34 points) to a perfect week and into second place in the Central Division. He collected 1-1—2, assisting on the go-ahead goal and scoring 1:02 later, in a 4-1 comeback victory against the Edmonton Oilers Nov. 27. MacKinnon then registered 1-3—4, his eighth career four-point performance and third of the season, in a 5-2 triumph over the Chicago Blackhawks Nov. 29. He closed the week with 1-2—3 in a 7-3 win against the Blackhawks Nov. 30. The 24-year-old Halifax, N.S., native – who on Sunday was named the NHL’s “Second Star” for the month of November – is riding a seven-game point streak dating to Nov. 16, accumulating 6-10—16 during that stretch. Overall, MacKinnon ranks among the League leaders in assists (t-4th; 25), points (5th; 42) and goals (6th; 17) through 26 total contests this season.
SECOND STAR – DAVID RITTICH, G, CALGARY FLAMES
Rittich stopped 95 of the 101 shots he faced, compiling a 2-0-1 record, 1.94 goals-against average and .941 save percentage in three contests to lift the Flames (13-12-4, 30 points) to five out of a possible six standings points. He made 35 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins Nov. 25. Rittich then turned aside 34 shots, including 16 in the third period and overtime, in a 3-2 triumph over the Buffalo Sabres Nov. 27. He added 26 stops in a 3-1 victory against the Ottawa Senators Nov. 30. The 27-year-old Jihlava, Czech Republic, native has played in 23 total games this season, posting a 12-7-4 record with a 2.68 goals-against average, .915 save percentage and two shutouts.
THIRD STAR – MARTIN JONES, G, SAN JOSE SHARKS
Jones went 3-0-0 with a 1.98 goals-against average and .935 save percentage in three appearances to backstop the Sharks (15-12-1, 31 points) to three wins in four games and into third place in the Pacific Division. He earned two victories against his former team, the Los Angeles Kings, making 33 saves in both a 4-3 overtime win Nov. 25 and a 4-1 triumph Nov. 29. Jones, who went 10-2-0 in November (2.62 GAA, .902 SV%), closed the month with 21 stops in a 4-2 victory against the Arizona Coyotes Nov. 30. The 29-year-old North Vancouver, B.C., native has compiled a 12-8-1 record with a 3.03 goals-against average and .896 save percentage through 22 total outings this season.

BSD deserves it. He was the difference maker in those games.

Good for him. He's definitely been the Flames best player this season. I wish this team wasn't so bipolar. One year they can score goals in bunches but the goaltending is iffy, the next the goaltending is great and goals are hard to come by.

If Dave keeps getting recognized by the league, people will stop offering their third string goalie to the Flames in trade proposals...

Rittich has really silenced his critics this season. The Flames MVP by far. Again people were worried about our goaltending coming into the season. Least of our worries.
Re: Nathan MacKinnon. 9 points in 3 games. Guy is simply amazing. I remember there was a time when some people would argue Monahan was the better player.

Rittich is one of the main reasons the Flames are still in the playoff picture (along with Chucky and Lindholm). Nice to see him get some recognition from the league for his outstanding play.

I don't even want to imagine where the team might be without his play this season.
Glad to see him get recognized. Dare I say the wait for a true #1 goalie since Kipper has is over? Might still be too early to say, but it's looking good!

To be fair, there was a time when it made a bit of sense, at least in a discussion. Not now though.

They were neck and neck at the NHL level in their first few seasons.
MacKinnon has just continued to progress offensively to another tier since then.

At that time there was an argument to make. Similiar point totals but MacKinnon's career-high for goals was 24, Monahan had one 30+

Some could tell MacKinnon was the superior player by the way he drove the play, his speed and his tenacity on the puck. Things Monahan just doesn't have.

You are describing Mackinnon now. He wasn't as confident in his play early on.
