The NHL All-Star game festivities are officially behind us. Let’s take a look at the best moments from Saturday’s three exhibitions between the Central, Pacific, Metropolitan, and Atlantic divisions.
1. Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat prove they still have some chemistry.
Vancouver Canucks fans will be the first to tell you how fun it was to watch Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat play together for the past half-decade. Even though Horvat was traded to the Islanders last week, the former Canucks forward still suited up for the Pacific division.
The duo netted two goals in the first period of the first game, both coming off two-on-nones. Unfortunately, the first goal was called back for offside.

Maybe we will see these two play together again one day. Anything is possible.
2. Matthew Tkachuk puts on a show in front of hometown fans
Matthew Tkachuk netted a hat trick in front of the Florida crowd in the first game between the Atlantic and Metropolitan Division. What made it even better? He did it playing alongside his younger brother, Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk. On each of Matthew Tkachuk's goals, his brother Brady recorded an assist. The Atlantic Division won the game 10-6.
In the final, Tkachuck added to his goal total by scoring his fourth of the night. He walked away with the All-Star Game MVP Award and a free car from Honda.
3. Sidney and Ovi Team up in Game 2
Reunited and it feels so good. Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby were All-Star teammates once again when they suited up for the Metropolitan Division. Crosby scored two goals that were assisted by Ovechkin, one in the first period and the other in the second. Ovechkin also scored a goal from his "office," only this time after a perfect feed from Crosby.
4. NHL Atlantic goalies show out in the All-Star Final
Atlantic Division goalies Andrei Vasilevskiy and Linus Ullmark allowed just six goals in a back-and-forth affair with the Metro Division. In the final game, Ullmark recorded a shutout against the Central Division. In the second period, Vasilevskiy continued the high-level play. He allowed five goals on 16 shots but made key stops when it mattered the most.
