3 STARS

1 Bryan Rust, Penguins He opened the scoring, added the back-breaking clincher on a penalty shot and added an empty-net goal for good measure.

2 Evgeni Malkin, Penguins He had his dancing shoes on, controlling play with his speed and his slick moves.

3 Erik Karlsson, Senators His four-point effort was lost in the Penguins’ onslaught.
