Elias Lindholm, Dakota Joshua and Nikita Zadorov stepped up for the Vancouver Canucks in their Game 1 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
It was a special night at Rogers Arena as the Vancouver Canucks erased a 4-1 deficit to beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 in Game 1. Vancouver received standout performances throughout their lineup, with three players specifically leading the charge. Here is a look at Elias Lindholm, Dakota Joshua and Nikita Zadorov, who finished as the Canucks' three stars from Game 1.
First Star: Elias Lindholm
Lindholm had a game to remember. He finished with a goal and an assist, led the team in shots with five, had five hits and went 14 for 18 in the faceoff dot. Lindholm continues to deliver for Vancouver in the postseason, with arguably his best performance coming in Game 1 against the Oilers.
Second Star: Dakota Joshua
Joshua was flying all night. He finished with a goal and two assists while leading all players with eight hits. Once again, Joshua delivers in Game 1 and looks ready to have a massive impact on this series.
Third Star: Nikita Zadorov
On the blue line, Zadorov was once again a standout. The man known as "Big Z" had a goal and an assist while being tied for the team lead with three blocked shots. Zadorov has been arguably the Canucks most impressive defenceman all playoffs and played a significant role in their comeback during Game 1.
