The Stanley Cup playoffs are officially set. There’s no shortage of talent this year in the postseason, with each team having at least one can’t-miss, must-watch player.
Here’s how they rank in pure watchability in reverse order:
Zegras’ immense skill shined in a career-best 67-point campaign. He also enjoyed the best health of his NHL career.
A late-season addition by trade, Panarin scored 27 points in 25 games to help power the Kings to a 12-8-6 record after the Olympic break.
The 22-year-old scored 41 goals in just his second full season in the NHL. Just 12 skaters scored 25 goals at five-on-five this season — no one did it in fewer minutes than Gauthier.
Johnston is coming off a career year with 45 goals. He’s a trigger man for the second-best power play in the NHL, scoring a league-high 27 goals with the man advantage.
