First Star:

Ryan Getzlaf, Anaheim Ducks - Getzlaf's four point night spurred on a Anaheim demolition of the Edmonton Oilers.  He assisted on Corey Perry's go-ahead goal in the first period, then again on Scott Niedermayer's powerplay goal in the second.  This rebound beauty put the Ducks ahead by two and had at least the goal of the week for his last.  Saku Koivu opened the scoring with this beauty, while George Parros and Bobby Ryan rounded it out.

Second Star:

Kyle Brodziak, Minnesota Wild - Brodziak's goal and two assists helped the Wild past the Vancouver Canucks.  Brodziak's goal in the second put the Wild up by two, while his two assists helped seal the deal.  His first came on this beautiful single-handed breakout that led to a Cal Clutterbuck rebound, while his second gave new acquisition Cam Barker his first goal in a Wild sweater.  Mikko Koivu, Marek Zidlicky and Andrew Brunette all had multi-point nights and Guillaume Latendresse scored his 20th of the year.

Third Star:

Alexei Kovalev, Ottawa Senators -  Kovalev's three-point night couldn't have come at a bigger time for the Sens, as his three points led the Sens back from a 3-1 deficit.  His 16th of the year started the rally, he then assisted on Jason Spezza's tying goal and on the game winner by Mike Fisher.

Play of the Night:

Getzlaf's second goal was easily the play of the night but, since you've already seen that one, check out the runner up.  Sean Avery sparked the Rangers rally with his penalty shot. 

Save of the Night:

In what's turning into a Rangers evening, Henrik Lundqvist made this diving save on Nate Thompson. 

Hit of the Night:

Craig Adams had this hard hit on Dan Hamhuis in the Pens 4-3 shootout loss to the Preds. 

Fight of the Night:

The Ducks offense weren't the only bombs that Anaheim was dropping on Edmonton.  Kyle Chipchura got the best of Gilbert Brule in this tilt, while Mike Brown bested Ladislav Smid in this one sided fight.
