Kane, Bennett, Kopitar named NHL's 3 stars

Two superstars worthy of eight-figure salaries and a rookie headline this week's NHL three stars.

Patrick Kane earned first-star honors, scoring four goals and a league-high-tying seven points in four games, each Chicago Blackhawks wins. He recorded his first career regular-season hat trick in Friday's win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Calgary Flames rookie forward Sam Bennett led the way in terms of goal scoring, netting six, including a four-goal effort versus the Florida Panthers. He's now up to sixth in rookie scoring after a tough start.

Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar scored two goals and seven points this week in addition to inking an $80-million contract extension. He collected at least one point in all three games, including four in a win over the Detroit Red Wings.
