J.T. Miller - Two PP points in Game 3 win Miller produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, during Friday's 2-1 win over the Predators in Game 3.
Impact The 31-year-old center opened the scoring midway through the first period by snapping a shot past Juuse Saros from above the faceoff circle, and Miller then helped set up Brock Boeser for the winner early in the second frame. Miller has a goal and three points through three postseason games, and he'll try to keep rolling in Game 4 on Sunday as the Canucks try to take a 3-1 series lead.

Casey DeSmith - Steadfast in Game 3 win DeSmith denied 29 of 30 shots from the Predators on Friday, culminating in a 2-1 win to take Game 3.
Impact DeSmith emerged with his first career playoff victory, as he drew his second straight start in place of Thatcher Demko (undisclosed). While the Predators scored with 3:12 remaining in the third period, it wasn't quite enough to flip the script. Indeed, DeSmith was laser focused while helping his team kill all four penalties, plus he worked against the grain of the Canucks' minus-18 shot differential. Demko has a week-to-week return timeline, meaning DeSmith is likely to draw the Game 4 start in Nashville on Sunday.

Quinn Hughes - Keeps dishing in latest playoff win Hughes came up with two power-play assists Friday for a 2-1 win over the Predators to take Game 3.
Impact Hughes was unable to get any shots off for the first time in the series, but the point-packing defenseman now has four helpers in these conference quarterfinals. Of course, you could say that his performance Friday was just another day at the office for Hughes, as he led all NHL defenseman in assists (75) and total points (92) during the regular season.
