Three Stars
1. Jason Robertson, Dallas Stars. The Stars offense came through in a big way on Tuesday night in a 6-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. The big impact player for them in that game was Robertson as his line came dominated the Blackhawks while he finished with four assists in the win. Read all about the Stars’ big win and what it means for their playoff chances here.
2. Jakub Vrana, Washington Capitals. This could have been an ugly game for the Capitals. They took the third period off and allowed a 4-1 lead to slip away, sending their game against the New Jersey Devils to overtime. It was there that Vrana came through to score his second goal of the game and give the Capitals an important 5-4 win. Given how tight the East Division is and how wild Tuesday’s slate of games turned out to be getting that extra point is huge. Read all about Tuesday’s East Division action here.
3. Sergei Bobrovsky, Florida Panthers. Here is a significant development for the Panthers — Bobrovsky is starting to turn his season around. After a disappointing debut season and miserable start to this season it was starting to look like the Panthers were going to be really regretting this contract. Him getting back on track was always going to be a significant development in their season, and it might be starting to happen. He stopped 40 shots against his former team on Tuesday night to lift Florida to a 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. He has been outstanding over his past few starts.
