Chris Pronger has been the best performer for the Philadelphia Flyers so far in the series. He has been dominant on the defensive side of the game holding Chicago’s top line to just one goal through three games. The Flyers penalty kill has been perfect so far thanks in no small part to Pronger’s ability to keep the front of the net clear.

With their top line silent, the Blackhawks have been relying on their secondary scoring to get them their wins. Troy Brouwer leads all Blackhawk scorers with two goals and two assists through three games while Marian Hossa has come back from the dead with a goal and three assists.

Antti Niemi has been winning the goaltending duel for the Blackhawks with a .917 save percentage in the playoffs and, most importantly, he’s given up fewer soft goals than his Flyers counterpart.
