Scott named MVP of 2016 NHL All-Star Game

It took just 47 seconds for Brent Burns to set up former teammate John Scott for a goal, and the story only got better from there on Sunday in Nashville at the annual NHL All-Star Game.

Scott was an unlikely and some would say controversial choice as the captain of the Pacific Division All-Stars, and scored two goals and added an assist as his team, including Burns and Sharks captain Joe Pavelski, won three-on-three tournament between the divisions. The league changed the format this year after previously All-Star games had become decidedly stale.

Scott was the star of the show, taking home MVP honors and a new car.
