NOTE: Poll is on the right. Results will be revealed next week.

Niemi's Game 3 effort: San Jose Sharks goalie Antti Niemi made 26 saves and allowed just one goal, after allowing a combined six in the first two games against the Los Angeles Kings, helping the Sharks to a 2-1 OT Game 3 win.

Zetterberg to Smith: In the second period of Game 2 against the Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg made a quick pass through the crease in front of Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford to Brendan Smith to put the Red Wings up for good and tie their playoffs series at 1-1.

Nyquist's patient goal: In Game 3 against Chicago, Detroit center Gustav Nyquist received a neutral zone pass, rushed into the Hawks' zone, deked through two defenders and waited until Crawford made a move to easily get the puck past him for the Red Wings' first goal of the game.
