The NHL announced its Three Stars of the Week for the period ending January 25, 2026, honoring Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov as the first star, Tampa Bay Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov as the second, and Anaheim Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal as the third. Kaprizov led with nine points in four games, while Kucherov tallied eight in three, and Dostal secured four wins with strong goaltending. These performances highlight standout contributions amid tight divisional races.
The Minnesota Wild overcame a late rally by the Detroit Red Wings to secure a 5-4 victory on April 5 in Detroit. Kirill Kaprizov recorded a hat trick, including the game-winning power-play goal in the final minute and a half of the third period. The win capped a successful road back-to-back for the Wild, who also defeated the Ottawa Senators the previous day.
