NHL Three Stars: Reimer shuts down Stars; Blackhawks double up Kings

No. 1 Star: James Reimer, Toronto Maple Leafs

Reimer made 43 saves and Joffrey Lupul scored twice as the Leafs won for the first time at Air Canada Centre since April 5th with a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars.

No. 2 Star: Patrick Kane, Chicago Blackhawks

Down 2-1 entering the third period, Kane helped give the Blackhawks the lead for good by scoring early and later assisting on Teuvo Teravainen’s go-ahead goal in a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings. Jonathan Toews and Artem Anisimov each had a goal and an assist in the win. Toews’ goal was his fifth in five games.

Morgan Rielly also finished with three points … Jamie Benn scored his league-leading 10th goal of the year … Anisimov used this great move for his second shorthanded goal of the season:

Philadelphia’s only goal was scored in lovely fashion by captain Claude Giroux:

Dishonorable Mention: Dallas’ three-game winning streak came to an end … The Blackhawks win snapped LA’s seven-game winning streak … Kadri likely felt this from Jamie Benn:
