Teuvo Teravainen’s effort from the past week or so resulted in him being named the first star of the week by the NHL on Monday.
It was a well-deserved honor, as at the time of his award, Teravainen had put up 10 points (5 goals and 5 assists) in his past 4 games. In the two games since, the 23-year-old Finn has put up an assist in each, extending his point streak to six games now.
The exact breakout that general manager Ron Francis had to have been envisioning when he acquired the young winger from the Chicago Blackhawks is starting to come to fruition.
