Even with four goals and two assists during the 2020 NHL All-Star Game, David Pastrnak didn't expect to take home the Most Valuable Player award considering the Atlantic Division didn't win.
"Definitely surprised," the Boston Bruins winger said after the game, per Greg Wyshynski of ESPN. "I would expect the winner should win MVP, you know?"
The Pacific Division defeated the Atlantic 5-4 in the final of the three-on-three tournament. Pastrnak notched a hat trick in the opening round to help sway voters. He ended up getting 36 percent of the votes from fans, ahead ofCalgary FlamesforwardMatthew Tkachuk, who totaled 27 percent despite being on the winning team.
