Metropolitan Division 10, ATLANTIC DIVISION 6 (SF)
Metropolitan Division 4, PACIFIC DIVISION 3 (F)
METROPOLITAN DIVISION REIGNS SUPREME AT ALL-STAR GAME
Wayne Simmonds scored the tiebreaking goal with 4:58 remaining in regulation to lift the Metropolitan Division past the Pacific Division in the final of the 2017 Honda NHL All-Star Game at STAPLES Center.
* By virtue of its championship, the Metropolitan Division – coached by Hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky – claimed the winner-take-all $1-million prize for the tournament.
* Simmonds, who scored twice in the Metropolitan Division’s semifinal win, earned MVP honors and, as a result, a 2017 Honda Ridgeline. A second-round pick (61st overall) by the Kings in the 2007 NHL Draft, Simmonds played his first three NHL seasons in Los Angeles before a trade to Philadelphia.
* “It’s all pretty surreal,” said Simmonds, who was making his All-Star Game debut. “I don’t even know if I realize what’s going on right now, but it’s pretty cool.”
ALL-STAR GAME QUICK HITS
* The Metropolitan Division advanced to the final by defeating the Atlantic Division in its first game, led by 2-2—4 from both Cam Atkinson and John Tavares.
* The Pacific Division defeated the Central Division in the opening semifinal, guided by 1-2—3 apiece from Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty of the hometown Kings.
* After capturing the title in 2016 with the Pacific Division, Metropolitan Division forward Taylor Hall became the only player to win both All-Star Games played under the 3-on-3 format.
