I'm late to this party but I think I have to agree with the majority on Polak with an HM to Andersen. 

Washington is probably a perfect opponent for a guy like Polak.  They are a big strong team that skates well but aren't necessarily blazing fast.  I can see why he had a lot of trouble last year in the 3rd round trying to handle speed, but a series like this is perfect for him.

 
MotM: Andersen
HM: Kapanen

Head rubs: Gardiner, Rielly, Matthews, Nylander, Bozak, Marner, Kadri, Komarov, JvR, Brown, Boyle, Martin, Marincin, Polak, Carrick, Hyman

So hard to keep Gardiner or Rielly out of the top two, but when you cash goals like Kapanen does, well he earned it.
 
I'm just going to call out the entire D.  Hunwick, Carrick, Polak before he got hurt.  And I already kudo'd the other 3.  They were rock solid all game.  That's 2 in a row where they have really led the way.  Who'd a thunkit?
 
Kapanen HM Gardiner

(Gardiner has been a standout for me this postseason and if I remember correctly he had a pretty good playoff series against Boston too)
