Lightning Round: Bolts All-Star Game content

The All-Star Weekend festivities continued yesterday with the All-Star game at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida. The format of the tournament remained the same since 2016: every divisional team face their opponent from the same conference in the semifinal and the All-Star Game champion is decided in the final game between two winners of the semifinals. The teams are playing 20-minutes games, divided in two 10-minutes halves, in a 3-on-3 format. The winner of the All-Star Game gets a one million dollar prize.

Just like the day before, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevskiy didn’t win any individual trophies, but will return home as the All-Star Game winners as the Atlantic Division defeated the Central Division in the final.

On their way to the final game, the Atlantic Division beat the Metropolitan Division 10-6. Kucherov scored a goal in a second period with an assist by Mitch Marner, beating Ilya Sorokin. Vasilevskiy  made 10 saves on 13 shots in this game.

In the final game, Kucherov scored his second goal of the tournament, once again teaming up with Marner, who recorded a primary assist on that goal. Later in the second period, he added an assist on Dylan Larkin’s second goal of the game. Vasilevskiy made 11 saves in that game, helping the Atlantic Division to win the tournament.

David Pastrnak called Andrei Vasilevskiy his favourite goalie in NHL, while Vasy called him his favourite 88.
