1st Star: LW Dylan Sikura, Northeastern, NCAA

The Line: 2 GP, 1G, 3A

The outstanding winger kicked off the new year with back-to-back multi point performances against Bentley. The 2014 sixth-round draft pick accounted for a goal and a helper in a 3-3 tie and then added two more assists over the same opponent in a 6-1 victory. Sikura's 16 assists pace Northeastern and his 26 points put him four off the team lead.

2nd Star: C Matt Highmore, Rockford, (AHL)

The Line: 4 GP, 3G, 1A

3rd Star: D Erik Gustafsson, Rockford, (AHL)

The Line: 4 GP, 4A
