Success in the regular season in one thing, but being a leader in the postseason takes a whole different level of commitment. Teams make you pay, and sometimes very dearly, for scoring in the postseason. Star player or not, if you are scoring then y you can bet that you have a big bulls eye painted on your back for the other team's heavy hitters. Here are a few of those that are willing to pay that price and have the skill to be successful in the playoffs.

Mikael Samuelsson

This may come as a big surprise to some sports betting gurus, bur Samuelsson leads all goal scorers in this postseason with seven goals and a total of 11 points. Then again, why be surprised? He is the product of a very successful system in Detroit where he was overshadowed by a bunch of other stars for several years. Now, in Vancouver, he has been given the chance to shine and he has taken it. It will be interesting to see if he can continue this success in the second round.

Henrik Zetterberg

This is probably not a very big Northbet.com prediction surprise. This guy is a playoff work horse and he is getting it done again with 11 total points and six goals. Now that Detroit is through to the second round, rest assured that he will again make a major contribution. Bottom line, as long as Detroit can continue advancing, Zetterberg will light it up guaranteed.

Sidney Crosby

Sidney leads the postseason with 14 total points and five goals. After the season that he has had, that is not a major surprise. Now that Pittsburgh is through to the next round, he will continue putting points up on the board for at least one more round. The Penguins are looking pretty solid again in the postseason and have an excellent chance to go deep. Before all is said and done, hockey betting experts know that this guy will have a major say on fantasy scores.
