1. Jarmar Jagr, Rangers
It look like the Jagr of old last night although clearly time has slowed down this superstar. He was involved in just about every Ranger scoring drive and finished with a goal and two assist to ensure that the Rangers move on to the second round.
2. Dan Ellis, Predators
Ellis is doing his best Patrick Roy imitation and doing it well. Again, he was spectacular but this time in a losing effort as the Red Wings beat him in overtime. Still he stopped 52 out of 54 shots and keeps the Predators hopes for an upset alive.
3. Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Ducks
It's well known in hockey that you don't get very far in the playoffs without great goaltending so it's no surprise that the stars performers are often goalies. Last night it was Giguere who turned away 40 shots including 30 in the first two period to lead the Ducks to a gritty win and keep their playoff hopes alive.
