The first round of the NHL playoffs is history – and the personal histories of a number of NHLers have been improved with stellar showings. Who stood out the most on an individual basis? That’s the focus of this week’s THN.com Top 10, which is based on the three stars THN staffers selected after every first round game (three points for first star, two points for second star, one point for third star):

10. Daniel Briere, Philadelphia (6 points)

The 13-year veteran, who hasn’t missed the playoffs since 2003-04, was a calming influence on his younger Flyers teammates in their first-round series against Pittsburgh and was second on the team in goals (five) and points (eight) in six games. In 103 career playoff games, the 34-year-old has 104 points.

9. Andy McDonald, St. Louis (6 points)
