NHL Three Stars: Tarasenko powers Blues; Miller frustrates Maple Leafs

No. 1 Star: Vladimir Tarasenko, St. Louis Blues

No. 2 Star: Ryan Miller, Buffalo Sabres

Miller was brilliant in stopping 34 shots in the Sabres’ 2-1 victory at the Toronto Maple Leafs, including 13 saves in the third period. Cody Hodgson and Jason Pominville had the goals, while Nazem Kadri scored his second of the season for the Leafs.
