Now let’s take a look at 5 of the strongest players heading into the playoffs.

Alex Ovechkin - Washington Capitals

• The 30 year old Ovechkin continues to perform as one of the top players in the league.
• He can score goals in bunches and he’s big and strong, which is important as the physical play picks up during the playoffs.
• For the season, he reached the 50 goal plateau with 19 of those being on the powerplay, which ranked him first in the league in both categories.
• He helped lead the Capitals to the best record in the league with 120 points.

Patrick Kane - Chicago Blackhawks

• Kane comes into the playoffs after another outstanding season for the defending champion Chicago Blackhawks.
• The 27 year old forward is another offensive machine, while scoring a total of 106 points on the season with 41 goals but also was a good playmaker with 60 assists.
• He helped Chicago finish in third place in the Central Division of the Western Conference with 103 points.

Sidney Crosby - Pittsburgh Penguins

• Crosby is another star who appears to be peaking for the playoffs.
• After a bit of a slow start he has been on a tear finishing with 36 goals and 49 assists for 85 points with 20 of those points coming in the last 21 games.
• Pittsburgh finished 2nd in the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference.

Braden Holtby - Washington Capitals

• There are always goalies who seem to rise to the playoff occasion. I am betting on Holtby to be that guy this year.
• The 6’1” Canadian has had an outstanding season and the favorite for the Vezina trophy.
• He tied Martin Brodeur’s single season win total of 48 and ended with a 2.20 GAA (goals against average) and a .922 save percentage.

Ben Bishop - Tampa Bay Lightning

• I’m adding a second goalie to this list because Bishop is not only good but will need to step up with the injury to Steven Stamkos and a few other Lightning players.
• The tall (6’7”) goalie finished the regular season with a 2.06 GAA and a .926 save percentage.
• He also has the sour taste in his mouth from his team's loss in the Stanley Cup finals last season.
