First Star: Frederik Andersen, G (W, 1.00 GAA, .957 SV%)

Again, Andersen gets the first star. He was sensational, keeping the team in the game while the Ducks were seemingly sleepwalking in front of him defensively. His shutout streak of 152:46 that spanned the past three games was an incredible feat, and he is the first goaltender in NHL history to win 26 of his first 31 starts. Andersen is now 6-0-0 on the year, with a 1.32 GAA and a .951 SV%, and he has been instrumental in the Ducks’ current six game winning streak. Not even a hat trick can take away the spotlight from Andersen, and he was the driving force all night in this win.
