After being made a healthy scratch early in the series, the Russian has scored in two straight games, including the eventual game-winner in Game 5.
2. Jordan Staal
It was an individual moment of brilliance from Staal, who beat Igor Shesterkin clean off a breakaway, that finally got the Hurricanes going in their comeback effort.
3. Jacob Trouba

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
