New Jersey centre Jack Hughes, Vancouver centre Elias Pettersson and Boston right wing David Pastrnak have been named the NHL鈥檚 three stars of October.

Hughes led the NHL with 13 assists and 18 points in eight games last month.

It鈥檚 the most points by a Devils player through his first eight appearances of a season, and he鈥檚 the first to collect at least 18 points over that span since Thomas Vanek with Buffalo in 2012-13.

Pettersson ranked second in the NHL with 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) cross nine contests to propel Vancouver to a 6-2-1 record in October.

It鈥檚 the Canucks best nine-game start to a season since 2005-06 (7-1-1, 15 points).

Pastrnak had eight goals and six assists in nine games to guide Boston to an 8-0-1 October.

It鈥檚 the Original Six鈥檚 longest point streak to start a season in franchise history
