Hey there, time traveller!

The NHL has recognized Winnipeg Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien as its first star of the week.
After a week with six points in four games (3-3-6), Byfuglien was placed on top of the league’s weekly star list, the first Jets player to make the grade since Andrew Ladd topped the list late in the 2013-14 lockout season.
Since he’s been moved back to defence six weeks ago, Byfuglien has steadied the injury-plagued Jets with hard-hitting defence and offence that has included 20 points in the 21 games he has played on the blueline.
The league also announced today that Detroit’s Tomas Tatar and New York Islanders Kyle Okposo were the second and third stars of the week.
The Jets are off until Wednesday when the Columbus Blue Jackets visit the MTS Centre.
