THIRD STAR

Brandon DeFazio, Clarkson: He played only one game last week, but a hat trick plus an assist against Sacred Heart last Sunday caught some attention. Catching even more: It was his second straight hat trick, adding to one on Dec. 4 at Quinnipiac. :: Brandon DeFazio’s player page

SECOND STAR

Kent Patterson, Minnesota: Making 78 saves on 82 shots was good enough for the Gophers to earn a win and a tie against Minnesota-Duluth and its powerful offense. He made 37 saves in a win last Friday, then stopped 41 shots in a 2-2 tie two days later. :: Kent Patterson’s player page

FIRST STAR

Brian Flynn, Maine: The junior forward’s goal against New Hampshire didn’t yield a win, but his hat trick two days later against Massachusetts helped the Black Bears bounce back. The four goals over the weekend gave him nine for the season. :: Brian Flynn’s player page
