NEW YORK - Vegas Golden Knights center Jonathan Marchessault, Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the week ending Nov. 26.

Marchessault registered 1-2-3 in each of his three contests, pacing the NHL with six assists and nine points overall (3-6-9) to power the expansion Golden Knights (15-6-1, 31 points) to a perfect week and the top of the Pacific Division standings. He opened the week with his fourth career three-point performance in a 4-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks Nov. 22. Marchessault then collected his second career overtime goal, as well as two assists, in a 5-4 triumph against the San Jose Sharks Nov. 24. He added his third straight three-point outing, including an assist on the decisive goal, in a 4-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes Nov. 25. The 26-year-old Cap-Rouge, Que., native - who is the only player with three consecutive three-point performances in 2017-18 - ranks second on the Golden Knights with 8-13-21 in 19 games this season.
