The NHL’s official media site for the Stanley Cup playoffs on Friday promoted Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals with smiling pictures of one star from each team.

For the Lightning, it was defenseman Victor Hedman, former Norris Trophy winner, Norris Trophy finalist four years in a row and the No. 2 overall pick in the 2009 draft – behind only John Tavares.

For the Islanders, it was Matt Martin.
