Get ready for some ice-cold action and a heated debate! The NHL's November 'Three Stars' are here, and they're bringing the heat to the ice. But here's where it gets controversial... or at least, a little unexpected.
Leading the pack is Nathan MacKinnon, the Colorado Avalanche's center. With an impressive 20 even-strength points and a +20 plus/minus rating, MacKinnon powered his team to an incredible 11-0-2 record in November. That's right, folks, an undefeated month! And get this, it's the Avalanche's highest single-month point total since January 2022. MacKinnon's dominance doesn't stop there; he's among the top three in franchise history for goals, assists, and points. Talk about a legend in the making! But here's the twist: despite his runner-up finishes for the Art Ross Trophy in the past two campaigns, MacKinnon is currently pacing the NHL with a whopping 44 points in just 25 appearances this season. Is this the year he finally takes home the trophy? Only time will tell.
Next up, we have Jason Robertson, the left wing for the Dallas Stars. Robertson topped the NHL in goals and points across 15 games, propelling the Stars to an impressive 11-2-2 record in November. That's right, they equaled their most points in a calendar month this century! Robertson's streak of seven straight games with a goal is a career-high and ties for the second-longest in franchise history. But it's not just his goal-scoring prowess; Robertson also ranks among the top performers in power-play points and assists. With 35 points in 26 games this season, Robertson is a force to be reckoned with.
And finally, we introduce Connor Bedard, the center for the Chicago Blackhawks. Bedard finished third in the League with 23 points in just 14 games, and he was involved in over half of the Blackhawks' goals in November. That's some serious impact! Bedard's performance is even more impressive when you consider that only one other Chicago skater has recorded as many points in a single month this century. And at just 20 years old, Bedard is already making waves in the NHL. He currently sits among the League leaders in points, goals, and assists for the 2025-26 season.
So, there you have it, folks! The NHL's November 'Three Stars' are a trio of exceptional talents. But here's the part most people miss: these players aren't just about individual achievements. They're leaders on their teams, driving their squads to success and inspiring their teammates. It's a beautiful thing to witness. Now, I want to hear from you. Who do you think deserves the spotlight this month? And who do you think will continue to shine throughout the season? Let's discuss in the comments!
