Best playmakers
1. Joe Thornton, San Jose — Some tread is off the tires, but hands and eyes are still among game’s best.
2. Henrik Sedin, Vancouver — Almost unfair when twin brother Daniel knows exactly where to go.
3. Nicklas Backstrom, Washington — Puts sweet dishes right on Alex Ovechkin’s blade.
