2016 NHL ALL-STAR ROUND UP

Home Team in Caps
Semifinals
ATLANTIC DIVISION 4, Metropolitan Division 3
Pacific Division 9, CENTRAL DIVISION 6

Final
PACIFIC DIVISION 1, Atlantic Division 0
By virtue of its victory, the Pacific Division claimed the tournament’s winner-take-all $1 million prize.
Canadiens forward John Scott, who captained the Pacific Division despite his trade from Arizona to Montreal, captured MVP honors after recording two goals in the team’s 9-6 victory over the Central Division in the semifinals.

“You can’t put it into words, you can’t write this stuff,” Scott said. “It was a whirlwind and it went by so fast, but I loved it. It was probably the coolest thing I have done in hockey.”

NHL ALL-STAR ROUND UP

• Nineteen players made their NHL All-Star Game debuts, the same number as last year in Columbus.
• Panthers forward and Atlantic Division captain Jaromir Jagr skated in his 10th career All-Star Game and first since 2004 in Minnesota. At age 43, he became the third-oldest participant in the All-Star Game, following Gordie Howe (51) in 1980 at Detroit and Doug Harvey (44) in 1969 at Montreal.
• Three other players recorded three-point games, all in semifinals: Predators forward James Neal (2-1—3 w/ CEN), Stars forward Tyler Seguin (1-2—3 w/ CEN) and Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin (0-3—3 w/ ATL).
• Defensemen contributed seven of the 23 total goals in the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game: three from the Atlantic Division (Aaron Ekblad, Erik Karlsson and P.K. Subban), two from the Central Division (Dustin Byfuglien and Roman Josi), and one apiece from the Metropolitan (Kris Letang) and Pacific (Drew Doughty) Divisions.
• Goaltenders from all four All-Star teams picked up assists: Tampa Bay’s Ben Bishop (ATL), Anaheim’s John Gibson (PAC), Nashville’s Pekka Rinne (CEN) and New Jersey’s Cory Schneider (MET).
• Eight of the Pacific Division’s nine skaters collected multiple points to lift the club to its semifinals win over the Central Division, highlighted by three-point efforts from Taylor Hall (2-1—3), Daniel Sedin (2-1—3), Johnny Gaudreau (1-2—3) and Brent Burns (0-3—3).
• Jonathan Quick (10 SV) and John Gibson (7 SV) combined to stop all 17 shots they faced and Corey Perry scored the lone goal to lift the Pacific Division over the Atlantic Division in the final of the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game, the first midseason showcase played under the 3-on-3 format.
