Snapshots: Three Stars, Wallstedt, PWHPA

April 11, 2022 at 3:56 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 2 Comments

The NHL has released its Three Stars for last week, with Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs taking home top spot. Matthews scored seven more goals in his four games to extend his lead in the Rocket Richard race, and set the Maple Leafs’ single-season franchise record. With 58 goals on the season, Matthews is incredibly already up to 257 in his career, putting him into the top-10 for the Maple Leafs organization–just three behind franchise icon Wendel Clark.

Second and third went to John Carlson and Jonathan Huberdeau respectively, who continue to rack up points of their own. Carlson, somewhat quietly in a year that has had so many other strong offensive performances from defensemen, is up to 63 points after his eight-point week. It’s the fourth time in five seasons that the Washington Capitals defenseman has recorded 60+ and has him closing in on 600 in his career. Huberdeau meanwhile broke the 100-point mark for the first time in his career and now leads the league with 77 assists as he makes a run at both the Art Ross and Hart trophies.

  • The Minnesota Wild are hoping to sign top goaltending prospect Jesper Wallstedt soon, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic, in order to have him play in North America next season. The 19-year-old was picked 20th overall in 2021 and posted a .917 save percentage in 22 appearances for Lulea HF in Sweden this season. The team is into the semi-finals meaning a contract will have to wait at least a little while, though veteran netminder Joel Lassinantti has started all five playoff games to this point.
  • The PWHPA’s board has voted unanimously to end any discussion of collaborating with the PHF, according to Hailey Salvian of The Athletic. The two factions of women’s professional hockey have never seen eye-to-eye but had met with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman recently to try to come to some sort of coalition. It appears that is impossible, at least for the time being, with the two sides ceasing further communication.

    The PWHPA doesn’t see eye to eye with the PHR’s plan to build women’s hockey from the ground up and plans to continue with their plan of not playing and instead whining and whining and whining about how their league isn’t as good as the NHL.

    Pathetic.

    So Matthews is the first player to score 50 goals in a 50 game stretch since Lemieux did it in the mid-90s. Wow. I just assumed Ovechkin had a run like that more recently, but I guess I’d be wrong.

    He’s 8 ahead of the next nearest scorer Draisaitl. And 13 ahead of OV.

    I had trouble justifying Hart consideration for Matthews a month ago but I’m coming around. He’s been playing on cheat mode for a while now. Really special stuff.
