Right wing Alexander Semin has been named the NHL’s third star of the week for the week ending November 14th. Semin scored four goals and added four assists for eight points on the week in four games. The Caps collected seven of a possible eight standing points last week, going 3-0-1. This included a five-point night from Semin on Thursday night in a 6-3 win over the Tamps Bay Lightening. He had a hat trick in the third period alone and added two assists to lead the team that night.
Semin has been playing extremely well so far this season with 13 goals (2nd in the league) and 10 assists for 23 points (4th) in 18 games played. However, these numbers weren’t enough to get him on the All-Star ballot for fan voting that went up on NHL.com recently. Voting starts today, so if you feel Semin deserves to go to the All-Star game, you can write in his name. Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, and Mike Green are all also on the ballot.
