Throughout the playoffs, THN has been awarding first, second and third stars to the top players in each game, revealing our picks in the Playoff Recaps.

Now that the eventual Stanley Cup champion is halfway there, here are the players who have received the most star points in the playoffs so far.

(When tallying up star points, the First Star of the game earns three, Second Star two and Third Star one.)
1. Ryan Kesler, VAN – 16

His 15 points lead the league as Kesler single-handedly drove the Canucks to the Western Conference final. He is the engine that powers Vancouver’s machine.
