The Russian forward capped off the week with a game-winning goal against Florida, scoring his third career hat trick. He became only the fourth player in franchise history to have at least three hat tricks. Marian Gaborik holds the record with nine three-goal games for the Wild.

David Pastrnak second biggest star of the week

David Pastrnak played in three games during the reporting period. He scored a total of 7 points on 5 goals and 2 assists. The third man of productivity and the third best scorer of the year. He also recorded a hat trick against Colorado this week.

Thanks to his scoring appetite, the Boston Bruins lead the entire Eastern Conference with a five-point lead over the NY Rangers. Of course, with great performances in the current season, he will be defending the Bruins colors in the upcoming All-Star Weekend.
