Jeff Carter named first star of NHL 3 stars of the week (10/27)

[TonySCV]

His line is magic out there. Three 30+ goal scorers on one line? It's possible.

"Carter tied for the League lead with six points (2-4—6) in two outings to help the Kings (6-1-1, 13 points) complete a perfect six-game homestand for the first time in franchise history. He opened the week with 1-1—2, including his 54th career game-winning goal, in a 2-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres Oct. 23. Carter then set a career high with three assists and matched a career high with four points in a 5-2 triumph over his former team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, Oct. 26. The 29-year-old London, Ont., native has compiled 5-7—12 and a +12 rating in eight games this season, including an even or plus rating in each contest. Playing alongside Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson, the trio known as "That '70s Line" has combined for 16 of the Kings' 21 goals (excluding shootout tallies) and a +32 rating in 2014-15."

Given the normal east coast bias, I'm surprised that Carts was recognized by the league. Thought that only Crosby, Price, Subban and King Henrik were the only ones eligible for this.

Love it! Jones won it last year also.

All three stars could've been Kings. Scrivens, while going 3-0 for the week. wasn't better than Quick if you compare stats over the same period.

I was actually going to make a pun at the beginning of the season and ask "will that 70's line score 70 goals"? It looks like that is a real possibility.

I thought Carter only scores in blowouts though?

What a difference a year makes when it comes to Carter's line to start last year vs. this year. From a disaster to the best line in the league.

Carter has played his best hockey as a King and maybe of his career centering those two young guys. Hope this line is together for year to come.

Well deserved. That 70's Line has been such a treat to watch this season.

 

[Whiskeypete]

let the others revel in these weekly awards. i'm perfectly happy with the one BIG award at the end of the road.

for example, Henrik can enjoy all the weekly awards and occasional Vezina. I will go with Quick and the Stanley Cup(s)

A lot of good chemistry on That '70s Line. A lot of fun to watch. Hoping they can put up 8-10 points in Philadelphia.

It's going to be interesting tomorrow night if Kopitar is out, as Carter's line will get the Flyers' undivided attention.

He does. He's the reason it is a blowout.

They're missing their top 3 dmen; as usual, i'm expecting us to get shutout.

Happy for Carts!

Started from the bottom, now he's here.

Columbus again blames Carter for their loss...and for once, they're right!
