A trio of incredible performances capped the final "Three Stars" selection of the NHL regular season. 

This week's honors go to Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars, Ondrej Pavelec of the Winnipeg Jets, and Mark Stone of the Ottawa Senators.

Benn finished the season in style, recording five goals and five assists in three games to nab the Art Ross Trophy as the league's top scorer (87 points). He capped the season by recording his second career hat trick and an assist with 8.5 seconds remaining in regulation on April 11 against the Nashville Predators.

Pavelec did not allow a single goal in three starts, stopping all 83 shots against. The only blemish on his record came via a shootout loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

In three games for the Senators, Stone recorded four goals and added an assist, helping the team clinch what seemed like an unlikely playoff berth only a couple months ago.
