One decade after his four-goal debut, Auston Matthews hasn't stopped scoring.
The Toronto Maple Leafs captain was named the NHL's first star of the week on Monday after collecting nine points in three games, including three goals.
Dallas Stars goalie Jake Oettinger was the second star and New York Rangers forward Alexis Lafreniere was third.
Matthews put up a pair of four-point performances in his big week as the Maple Leafs went 2-0-1. The star centre also scored the OT winner in the first game against the Nashville Predators, the 15th of his career.
The 29-year-old is tied for sixth on the season with 10 points (four goals, six assists).
Oettinger led the Stars to a 2-0-1 week of their own, allowing just one goal while stopping 59 of 60 shots against. He opened the week with a pair of shutout wins against San Jose and Buffalo before a 2-1 shootout loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday.
