No. 1 star: Troy Brouwer(notes), Chicago Blackhawks

Only one game on the NHL docket, so the top star was an easy choice: Brouwer had the primary helper on goals by John Madden(notes) and a returning Jonathan Toews(notes), sandwiched around a perfect tip-in goal on the power play past Jon Quick(notes) (check the highlights here) in Chicago's 4-1 win over the visiting Los Angeles Kings. It was Brouwer's first multi-point game of the season and first three-point night since Dec. 16, 2008.

No. 2 star: Jonathan Toews, Chicago Blackhawks

The captain returns after missing six games with a concussion, and a power play that was on a 3-for-33 skid comes to life with 2-for-3 effort. Toews had a power-play goal and was on the ice for Brouwer's as well.

No. 3 star: Anze Kopitar(notes), Los Angeles Kings

Kopitar's goal was his 14th of the season, tying him with Alex Ovechkin(notes) for the NHL lead. He collected a rebound in front of Cristobal Huet(notes) (17 saves).

Honorable mention: Andrew Ebbett's(notes) funky first goal off the face not withstanding, the honor goes to the men who achieved immortality at the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday night. Here are the acceptance speeches for Steve Yzerman, Luc Robitaille, Brian Leetch, Lou Lamoriello and especially Brett Hull, in a wonderful moment presented here:

Did you know? The Blackhawks now have a 73-72-21 lead in the all-time series against the Kings. (AP)

Dishonorable mention: The Kings were outshot 10-2 in the third period. ... Jon Quick let a softy in for Madden's opening goal; never a good thing for a road team.
