NHL Three Stars: Lundqvist crowns the Capitals again

No. 1 Star: Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers

The return of the King. Lundqvist made 22 saves, shutting out the Washington Capitals for the third straight game (going back to the 2013 playoffs) with a 2-0 victory.

No. 2 Star: Viktor Fasth, Anaheim Ducks

Fasth made 33 saves, including 16 in the third period, as the Ducks defeated the Calgary Flames, 3-2.

No. 3 Star: Brad Richards, New York Rangers

The Rangers center had the primary assist on both of their goals, skating 20:13 for the game.

Honorable mention: John Moore and Ryan Callahan had the Rangers goals. … Dustin Penner, Kyle Palmieri and Teemu Selanne had the Ducks goals. …. Lee Stempniak and Jiri Hudler scored for the Flames. ... This Callahan goal was nifty:

Did You Know? New York lost its preceding three games by a combined 20-5

Dishonorable mention: Brad Street and Curtis Glencross were a minus-3 for the Flames. … The Capitals were 0-for-4 on the power play, including a blown 5-3. … Troy Brouwer cold be in trouble for a head shot on Derek Stepan. … Tim Jackman was given a 5-minute major and a game misconduct for butt-ending Sven Baertschi.
