First Star: Frederik Andersen, G (W, 1.00 GAA, .964 SV%)

Again, Andersen kept the Ducks in the game when they were being outplayed in the first two periods. He made numerous spectacular saves and kept the deficit at one goal. After cementing his place as the starting netminder for the Ducks, Andersen turned in yet another brilliant performance, stopping 27 of 28 shots as the Anaheim Ducks basically stole a win and two points from a very good Minnesota Wild team. At this point, it seems highly unlikely that Andersen relinquishes the starting job anytime soon: he has given no indication that his level of play will dip anytime soon.
