Radek Faksa is far from an unknown commodity. After all, the Dallas Stars selected him 13th overall in the 2012 NHL Draft.
However, the young center’s recent offensive surge which saw him net his first career hat trick on November 28 at Las Vegas, finish a four-game stretch with seven points (five goals) and earn NHL Third Star of the Week honors on December 5, was somewhat unexpected.
“The boys helped me a lot, they set me up a few times. That made it much easier, but I felt confident and I felt really good,” Faksa said.
