iStockPhoto/Thinkstock(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — If you’re a fan of low-scoring hockey, then the NHL All-Star Game isn’t for you. On Sunday, Team Toews came out on top over Team Foligno, 17-12.
It was the highest-scoring All-Star Game in NHL history.
New York Islanders center John Tavares scored four goals in the game, which matched a record for the game.
There was so much offense that Tavares didn’t even win the MVP Award. That honor went to Columbus Blue Jackets center Ryan Johansen, who was playing in front of the Blue Jacket fans. He was given the award after the fans voted him the winner on Twitter.
“It’s meant a lot, being a part of it — seeing the fans and how much they’ve been enjoying all the festivities,” he said. “We did a two-hour (autograph) signing. Everybody just seemed to be having a great time. All the kids were laughing and having a lot of fun.”
Philadelphia Flyers winger Jake Voracek had a memorable game as he tied another record with six points.
