TORONTO – Forwards Rickard Rakell of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils and Robert Thomas of the St. Louis Blues were named the NHL’s three stars Monday.

Hughes earned second-star honours after topping the NHL with nine points (three goals, six assists) to lead the Devils to points in three of their four games (2-1-1). Hughes, 24, has 72 points (25 goals, 47 assists) in 56 games this season.
Thomas was the third star after accumulating eight points (five goals, three assists) in four games with the Blues (2-1-1). The 26-year-old has points in 16 of his last 18 games and leads the Blues in scoring with 56 points (21 goals, 35 assists) through 58 games.
