The NHL All-Star game was settled in the newest of ways in hockey’s oldest city.
Alex Ovechkin sealed the Eastern Conference’s 12-11 victory Sunday night with a goal in the third round of the shootout. It capped off the busiest of nights for the NHL’s reigning MVP, who also had a goal and two assists.
The biggest cheer of the night went to hometown hero Alex Kovalev, the Canadians star who earned MVP honors with a pair of breakaway goals and then another in the shootout against Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo.
