Per the NHL, Pens captain Sidney Crosby has been named the Third Star of the Week for Jan 1-7, 2018.

Crosby tallied eight points (1g-7a) in four games, with seven of those points coming in the last two games versus the Islanders and Bruins. It was a big return to form for Crosby, who had only six points in his previous 11 games played before this week.

Boston’s Patrice Bergeron was named First Star after scoring five goals and two assists in three games while Colorado’s Jonathan Bernier took home Second Star with a stat line of 3-0-0, 1.60 GAA, .957 SV%.

Here’s a small sample of Sid’s stellar play from the past two games.
