Today the National Hockey League announced their Three Stars of the Week for the week of October 13th through 9th, 2025.
First Star – Dylan Larkin (C – DET)
- Larkin paced the NHL with 4-5—9 and a +7 rating in four appearances to propel the Red Wings (5-1-0, 10 points) to a perfect week and their second 5-1-0 start in the past three seasons (also 2023-24). He opened the scoring in a 3-2 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs Oct. 13. Larkin then collected a pair of assists in a 4-1 triumph over the Florida Panthers Oct. 15. He finished the week with consecutive game-winning goals, notching 1-1—2 (including his 10th career overtime goal – second in franchise history) in a 2-1 victory versus the Tampa Bay Lightning Oct. 17 and 2-2—4 (his second career four-point performance following Dec. 18, 2021 vs. NJD: 3-1—4) in a 4-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers Oct. 19. The 29-year-old Larkin, who ranks third in the League with 5-6—11 through six total contests this season, has factored on each of Detroit’s past six goals – the longest such streak by a Red Wings player since Pavel Datsyuk from Jan. 11-20, 2016 (7).
Second Star – Jack Eichel (C – VGK)
- Eichel finished second in the NHL with 3-5—8 across three outings to propel the Golden Knights (4-0-2, 10 points) to an unblemished week as they matched their second-best six-game start to a season in franchise history (behind only 2023-24: 6-0-0, 12 points). He scored twice, highlighted by his 40th career game-winning goal, in a 4-2 comeback victory against the Calgary Flames Oct. 14. Eichel added 1-1—2, including a helper on the decisive goal, in a 6-5 triumph over the Boston Bruins Oct. 16. He capped the week with his third career four-assist effort (also March 31, 2018 at NSH: 0-5—5 and Oct. 9, 2024 vs. COL: 0-4—4) in a 6-1 win versus the Flames Oct. 18. The 28-year-old Eichel, who tops the NHL with 5-10—15 through six total appearances in 2025-26, is the third player in the past 30 years to record at least 15 points through his team’s first six games of a campaign.
Third Star – Scott Wedgewood (G – COL)
- Wedgewood went 3-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average and .954 save percentage to help the Avalanche (5-0-1, 11 points) also post a perfect week and extend their season-opening point streak to six games. He stopped 27 shots, including each of the last 17 he faced, in a 3-1 victory against the Buffalo Sabres Oct. 13. Wedgewood then made 22 saves in a 4-1 comeback win versus the Columbus Blue Jackets Oct. 16. He closed the week with 13 stops, yielding his lone goal on his first shot against, in another 4-1 come-from-behind triumph – against the Boston Bruins Oct. 18. The 33-year-old Wedgewood, who has started each of Colorado’s first six contests of the season, owns a League-best five wins in 2025-26 (5-0-1, 1.48 GAA, .938 SV%).
