NEW YORK -- New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier, Arizona Coyotes goaltender Antti Raanta and Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the week ending Feb. 18.

Hischier scored in all four of his appearances, sharing the League lead with four goals and ranking second overall with 4-3-7 to power the Devils (31-20-8, 70 points) to a perfect week. He posted 1-1-2 in a 5-4 shootout victory over the Philadelphia Flyers Feb. 13.
