Team Toews defeats Team Foligno, 17-12, in NHL All-Star game
John Tavares of the New York Islanders matched a record with four goals, and Team Toews beat Team Foligno, 17-12, on Sunday night in the highest-scoring NHL All-Star game.
The wild, no-defense exhibition even featured a fake fight along with goals in bunches.
The 29 goals were the most in the event’s 60-year history, eclipsing the 26-goal burst in North America’s 14-12 victory over the World in 2001.
Ryan Johansen of the hometown Columbus Blue Jackets had two goals for the losing team but still won the MVP award in voting by fans on Twitter.
The NHL has determined the teams by a number of geographic and divisional setups over the 60 years. Just like on ponds around the globe, these lineups were determined by a player draft on Friday night.
