You're going to hear about Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin quite a bit during the NHL playoffs (probably more than you care to hear about them) but they are far from the only players in the NHL that could make an impact in the race for the Stanley Cup.

Here are four under-the-radar players that could play big roles for their teams this postseason.

Kris Letang, Defense, Pittsburgh Penguins: A third-round pick by the Penguins in 2005, Kris Letang is the type of dynamic, electrifying skater that every team in the NHL is looking for on its blue line. He set a career-high with 10 goals and 23 assists this season, and while the 21-year-old still has some room to improve in his own end, he has shown the ability to be a game-breaker jumping into the play and providing a spark offensively.
