Sunday’s Three Stars: Elliott blanks again; Crosby’s stellar goal; Tootoo dropped in fight

Farewell, Panthers' third jerseys. They were officially retired on Sunday night.

No. 1 Star: Brian Elliott, St. Louis Blues

The Blues goalie continued his career year, stopping 20 shots, extending his shutout streak to 127:38 and posting his eighth shutout this season in just 33 games in a 4-0 win over the Phoenix Coyotes. After a scoreless first, he made Alex Pietrangelo's power-play goal stand up until David Backes scored on the power play at 4:09 of the third to provide some cushion.

No. 2 Star: Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins

The Penguins captain came through on home ice, scoring his first goal on Pittsburgh since Nov. 21, 2011, in their 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils. With the score 2-1 in the second period, Sid helped create a scoring play that resulted in Pascal Dupuis' 23rd goal of the season. Then, after Ilya Kovalchuk scored in the third, Crosby netted the goal of the night to make it 4-2:

No. 3 Star: Alex Ovechkin, Washington Capitals

Ovechkin had two points in the Caps' 3-0 victory over the Minnesota Wild, and was the catalyst for the team all night. He assisted on Mathieu Perreault's power-play goal in the second and then scored his 36th in the third. After some ice time issues against the Jets on Friday, Ovechkin played 26:19 and led the team with five shots.

Honorable mention: Frans Nielsen scored backhand shelf in the shootout for the 1,000th time, giving the New York Islanders a 3-2 win over the Florida Panthers.
