Hughes scored two goals for the Metropolitan team in its 6-4 win over the Pacific in the first semifinal. “For 14 years, it’s been a lot of fun, and to represent that team is great.”Ĭarolina’s Frederik Andersen was the standout goalie, allowing just three goals and picking up an assist.Īfter a one-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, the NHL’s midseason showcase returned with the 3-on-3 tournament format introduced in 2016 and employed in the previous five All-Star events. “Anytime you represent your team, it’s been an honor to put that jersey on,” Giroux said.

Giroux clearly took the All-Star showcase seriously, even if he was thinking more about a relaxing weekend with his family than his NHL future. New Jersey’s Jack Hughes, at 20 the youngest All-Star, also scored three goals for the Metropolitan team in the All-Star extravaganza’s first trip to Las Vegas, which has become a major stage for hockey’s top league since the expansion Vegas Golden Knights entered in 2017. “It’s funny how everybody was just on the same page today, when we had never played together before,” Giroux said.
