1st Star: RW Alex DeBrincat, Erie Otters (OHL)
The Line:3GP, 3G, 4A
After posting seven points in three games for Erie last week, DeBrincat was on the brink of making Ontario Hockey League history with 49 goals and 104 points for the season; he then reached the 50-goal mark on Monday afternoon to become the first player in the OHL since 1980 to tally three consecutive seasons of 50 goals and 100 points. As of Sunday, the 2016 second-round pick had a 10-game goal streak and 14-game point streak, helping the Otters stretch their win streak to 13 games.

2nd Star: D Dennis Gilbert, Notre Dame (H-EAST)
The Line: 2GP, 4A
Gilbert's offensive output this season has been limited to assists, but the sophomore defenseman has been prolific in that regard with 20 on the season, ranking third overall on Notre Dame and sharing seventh among NCAA blueliners. The 2015 third-round pick racked up a pair of helpers in each of Notre Dame's games last weekend against Providence, extending his point streak to five games (9A). Gilbert has now doubled his point total (2G, 8A) from his freshman year.
3rd Star:LW Mathias From, Rogle J20 (SuperElit)
