Last Night's Stars

1. Marc Savard, Bruins.

The Canadiens have owned the Bruins all season but Savard changed all that. He scored on a delayed penalty 9:25 into overtime for a 2-1 win that ended a 13-game losing streak to Montreal and trimmed the series lead to 2-1.

2. Martin Biron, Flyers.

After giving up five goals in the Game 1 loss, Biron bounced back with 24 saves in blanking the Capitals 2-0 for his first playoff shutout and his third in the last four games. Although Huet was pretty good at the other end stopping 39 of 41 shots.

3. Owen Nolan, Flames.

Leaf fans will have a tough time with my third pick but he delivered the go-ahead goal with 3:45 remaining and assisted on two more Calgary scores as the Flames rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Sharks 4-3 for a 2-1 series lead.
