Washington Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin, Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, and Philadelphia Flyers right winger Wayne Simmonds have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending Oct. 8, the league announced Monday.

Here's a quick rundown of their exploits:

1. Ovechkin led all players in goals and points (7) after recording a hat trick in the season opener and four the next time out. Per the NHL, "with hat tricks in each of the Capitals’ first two games, Ovechkin became the fourth player in NHL history and first since 1917-18 to record hat tricks in each of his team’s first two games of a season."

2. Fleury posted a record of 2-0-0 and a .973 save percentage as the Golden Knights opened their inaugural season undefeated. He now has 377 career victories, good for 15th on the all-time NHL wins list.

3. Simmonds registered a hat trick in the Flyers' season opener and added another goal to sit second very early on in the scoring race. Two of those goals were game winners for a Philadelphia team that went 2-1-0 on a season-opening California road trip.
