On Monday the NHL released their Three Stars of the Week for the week ending on January 22nd, 2023. To the surprise of no one, Steven Stamkos was one of those stars. Somewhat surprisingly, he was the second star. The fact that he scored his 500th career goal and potted five goals in four games wasn’t enough to overcome Zach Hyman’s 4-goal, 5-assist performance in three games. Okay, to be fair, that is a legit performance.
Stamkos finished the week with those five goals and one assist after netting a hat trick against Vancouver and following it up with goals against the Oilers and Flames.
