Russian defenseman Mikhail Sergachev of the Utah team has been named the third star of the day in the National Hockey League (NHL). This information is reported on the tournament's official website.
Sergachev scored the winning goal in overtime during the regular season match against the Vancouver Canucks. The game ended with a score of 3:2.
The first star of the day was Anaheim Ducks forward Frank Vatrano, who scored a double and provided an assist in the game against the Winnipeg Jets (3:2). The second star was awarded to Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk, who also scored twice in the match against the Minnesota Wild (6:1).
In June 2024, Sergachev was traded to Utah from the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he played for the past seven seasons. With the team, the Russian player won the Stanley Cup twice (in 2020 and 2021).
