Free Press Three Stars

One star: Evander Kane, Wpg: Working so well with Blake Wheeler and Olli Jokinen now. Finished with a goal and an assist while showcasing his speed and his physical play.
Two stars: Andrew Ladd, Wpg: Character game from el capitano. Goal, assist and three hits in just over 17 minutes of work.
Three stars: Sidney Crosby, Pitts: He was absolutely electric in the first period, scoring two goals. Had his moments in the final 40 and was scary every time the puck was on his stick.
