1. Martin St. Louis, Lightning: Don't let the fluky goal he scored fool you; St. Louis was the best player on the ice for the Tampa Bay Lightning in its Game 2 overtime victory over Washington. Yes, he was fortunate to receive credit for a third-period goal -- a pass intended for Vincent Lecavalier that ricocheted in off the skate of Washington defenseman Mike Green -- that put Tampa Bay up 2-1 in the third. But not only did St. Louis make a tremendous play in getting to the puck for the setup, if Green hadn't gotten a skate on it, it almost certainly would have been an open-net tap-in for Lecavalier. St. Louis also assisted on Tampa Bay's first goal and fired a game-high eight shots on goal. That was more than one-third of Tampa Bay's 23 shots overall. With the way he's playing, the Lightning's undersized star is an early favorite for the Conn Smythe.
