Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid also scored
for the team he captains and is named in his honor, as well as
during the shootout. Boone Jenner of the Columbus Blue Jackets
added the other goal for McDavid's squad, while goalie Sergei
Bobrovsky of the Florida Panthers was perfect in the shootout.
McDavid's team will face the winner of the clash between Team
Hughes and Team Matthews in the final later in the day, with the
winning side splitting a $1 million prize that will be given to
a charity of the team's choice.
Colorado Avalanche standout Nathan MacKinnon scored for his team
-- with both goals assisted by his Colorado teammate Cale Makar
and Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby -- and Oliver
Bjorkstrand of the Seattle Kraken also lit the lamp
After MacKinnon and Jenner traded first-half goals, Bjorkstrand
and MacKinnon tallied 54 seconds apart past the midway point of
the second half to earn a 3-1 lead that was poised to hold up.
However, Pastrnak beat his Boston teammate Jeremy Swayman for a
goal with 32 seconds remaining in regulation and then McDavid
tallied with 5.4 seconds left on the clock. The duo assisted
each other's marker, while Leon Draisaitl netted a pair of
helpers.
This came after Swayman had denied several breakaway chances,
among them against Rasmus Dahlin, Jenner, Sam Reinhart and
Pastrnak among his nine saves in the second half.
Bobrovsky stopped eight of 10 shots he faced in his half of
action, plus both chances he faced in the shootout.
Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (McDavid) made 10
saves in the first half, while Colorado goalie Alexandar
Georgiev (MacKinnon) stopped nine shots.
