Jason Robertson named NHL's First Star of the Week

Stars forward Jason Robertson was named the NHL's First Star of the Week for the week ending March 6.
Robertson topped the NHL with seven goals in three contests (7-0-7), highlighted by consecutive hat tricks and game-winning goals, to lift the Stars (32-20-3, 67 points) to a perfect week and into the first Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

Down 3-1 midway through the second period, he scored the first of three unanswered Dallas goals en route to a 4-3 victory over the LA Kings March 2. Robertson then recorded his first career hat trick - capped by his third career overtime goal - while playing in his 100th NHL game, a 4-3 win against the Winnipeg Jets March 4.

He closed the week by posting his second straight hat trick (including the decisive goal) and reaching the 100-point milestone (46-54-100 in 101 GP) in a 6-3 triumph over the Minnesota Wild March 6.

In doing so, Robertson joined Bill Goldsworthy (March 16-21, 1971 w/ MNS) as the second player in Stars/North Stars history to register a hat trick in consecutive games and became the first player on any NHL team to accomplish the feat since Jan. 16-18, 2020 (Alex Ovechkin w/ WSH).
The 22-year-old Arcadia, Calif., native and runner-up for the 2020-21 Calder Memorial Trophy has compiled 29-25-54 in 47 total appearances this season, placing among the League leaders in game-winning goals (2nd; 9), goals (t-9th; 29) and shooting percentage (13th; 20.4%).
Arizona Coyotes center Nick Schmaltz and New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin were named the second and third Stars of the Week, respectively. The full release from the NHL can be
