The famous player is not the only Quebecer in the spotlight this week, as the New York team's forward Jade Downie-Landry received the second star. The latter scored a hat trick in his team's 4-1 win against the Boston club last Saturday.

Last week's third star went to Alina Müller (Boston), who was involved in four of her teammates' successes in two games.
