NHL Three Stars: Hall, Berglund OT heroes; Caps win ninth

No. 1 Star: Jason Pominville, Minnesota Wild

The Wild and the Chicago Blackhawks battled for supremacy in the Central Division with Minnesota coming out on top, 3-2. Jason Pominville broke a 19 goal-less streak with what would be the game winner early in the third.

No. 2 Star: Patrik Berglund, St. Louis Blues

The forward netted two goals in the 2-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks. His second goal came 51-seconds into overtime.

No. 3 Star: Taylor Hall, New Jersey Devils

Hall turned an overtime goof into an amazing goal thanks to the play of teammate Travis Zajac as the Devils beat the Vancouver Canucks.

Honorable Mention: Philipp Grubauer stopped all 24 shots he faced in the Washington Capitals 5-0 drubbing of the Philadelphia Flyers. It’s the ninth win in a row for the Caps. Justin Williams and Matt Niskanen scored two goals each … Patrick Kane netted both of the Blackhawks goals. Kane had 12 shots on goal in the game. Mikael Granlund led the Wild with 6 SOG. Devan Dubnyk earned his 23 win of the season making 33 of 35 saves … Loui Eriksson and Kyle Quincey were the other goal scorers in the Canucks-Devils game … Rickard Rakell scored his 18 goal of the season for Anaheim.

Did You Know? This is the first Blues win in Anaheim since Oct. 17, 2009 (via Lou Korac).

Dishonorable Mention: John Carlson left the game after the first period with a lower body injury. Steve Mason was pulled after allowing five goals on 17 shots.
