ST. LOUIS — Hockey’s young skill was on display at the NHL All-Star 3-on-3 tournament.
Boston’s 23-year-old David Pastrnak, Edmonton’s 24-year-old Leon Draisaitl and Vancouver’s Elias Pettersson put on an offensive show in the 3-on-3 finale. Draisaitl and Pettersson’s Pacific Division team beat Pastrnak’s Atlantic 5-4 Saturday night in the fifth incarnation of 3-on-3 making up the All-Star Game.
Pastrnak, the league’s leading goal scorer at the break, was named All-Star MVP after scoring four goals and adding two assists. San Jose’s Tomas Hertl, who at 26 was among the oldest players to shine in the 3 on 3, scored five goals to help the Pacific come away with the win.
