ToHN Daily: Jack Campbell a star, trade talk in Montreal

Jack Campbell earns a star for November, trade rumours are starting to percolate in Montreal, and the Avalanche and Golden Knights are both unhappy with Wednesday’s losses.

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jack Campbell was named second star of the month for November, between Edmonton Oilers centre Leon Draisaitl and Colorado Avalanche centre Nazem Kadri.

Campbell was 9-2 with a .959 save percentage in 11 appearances.

He was my pick for the Vezina Trophy through the first quarter of the season.
