For Game 5:
Tampa Bay Lightning Martin St. Louis Why? The little man that could did it again. St. Louis scored the clutch OT-winner to get the Lightning into Round 2.
New York Islanders Rick DiPietro Why? Did his best to keep Islanders' season alive. His 34 saves just weren't enough.

   Analysis
Hockey Night in Canada's Kelly Hrudey:
Kelly Hrudey
In the playoffs, we know everybody puts more of a premium on defensive hockey, but Tampa Bay can't change what their strength is and that's good offensive hockey. And that's not a negative thing.

The way they've played all year … they're obviously a confident team and their lineup is suited for offence. I think most teams would be afraid to play Tampa with who they have in their lineup, and keep in mind that includes a guy like Darryl Sydor. He didn't put up the numbers when he was first traded there, but with his vast experience and the way he helps the power play, there's another weapon there.

For the Islanders, they've really stumbled the last while to even get into the playoffs, and I think they're going to need a goalie to steal a game or games for them in order to compete.
