Morning Flurries: MacKinnon named first star of the month

u2b50 Nathan MacKinnon, who found the score sheet in all but one outing, paced the NHL with 18 assists and 29 points and set a franchise record for points in a single calendar month, besting Peter Stastny in Feb. 1981 (12-16—28 in 12 GP w/ QUE).#NHLStats: https://t.co/fjH18wJX9g pic.twitter.com/3A8613MQCg

If there was an award for calendar year honors MacKinnon would be in the running for that too as no player even touched his 5-on-5 production of 80 points (Connor McDavid had only 59 points).
