NHL three stars of the week coming out of all-star weekend: Matthews, McDavid and DeBrincat. #Leafs
Alexandar Georgiev was the first goalie off the ice for the #Avs, so he should start tonight against his former team. #NYR
Laviolette said having Quick start the first game out of the break was the plan all along. “It gives (Shesterkin) a chance to work with the goalie coach and go over some things and dial in.” Here’s what Igor had to say about where his game is at #NYR 👇🏼https://t.co/oUv67FOygt
Jonathan Quick is the first goalie off this morning. Looks like he'll start tonight. #NYR
Quick first goalie off for #NYR this AM
For all the talk about what the #NYR need to fix, getting their No. 1 goaltender on track tops the list. Igor Shesterkin knows this all too well. “I need to turn around everything.” More from today’s convo with a refreshed and motivated No. 31 👇🏼 https://t.co/oUv67FOygt
After practice, I went over to chat with Igor Shesterkin and found the #NYR goalie in the best spirits I've seen him since training camp. The week off seemed to come at a good time for him, with more to come from that convo in a story that will be posted this evening... https://t.co/cW80iLlKve
Sorokin is first goalie off at #Isles practice. He didn’t play last two games but likely starts vs. #Leafs on Monday.
Pastrnak earns bragging rights against Swayman with All-Star Game performance “I wanted to score on him so bad. I was going to try everything I can to score.” My @NHLdotcom story: #NHLBruins https://t.co/54OppIMmcg
I asked Igor Shesterkin what it was like to stop all four shooters in the shootout: “the most important that I stopped [Nikita Kucherov].” #NYR #GoBolts
Alright, caught up with Trocheck, Igor and Laviolette. So, #NYR wrap from #NHLAllStarGame to post shortly @4EverBlueshirts Spoiler alert: Trocheck promised to trash talk the coach on way home to NY!
Bruins forward David Pastrnak on the four Maple Leafs winning the All-Star Game: "Good for them. They needed some wins. They got one." And then he smiled.
#NYR Igor Shesterkin, Vincent Trocheck and the rest of Team Matthews win the All-Star Game crown over their head coach Peter Laviolette and Team McDavid! What a fun weekend for all and to all a good night!
Alex Debrincat absolutely robs Connor McDavid to score an empty net goal and make it 6-3 for Team Matthews #NHLStarGame
DeBrincat strips McDavid with Hellebuyck pulled and finds the empty net. 6-3 for Matthews with 1:51 left. #NHLAllStar
DeBrincat picks McDavid's pocket and scores the empty-netter to make it 6-3 Team Matthews. Otter on Otter violence.

Something tells me Filip Forsberg won't be picked near last at the All-Star game again... he scores his 3rd goal of the day, putting Team Matthews up 4-3 in the final. https://t.co/ANufnw6tAI

Team Matthews and Team McDavid knotted at 3-3 heading into second period. First ends with The Bob stretching to rob Mitch Marner, who playfully throws his glove at the goalie after the great save. Hugs all around.

All four Maple Leafs players have a point in the first period of this All-Star Game final. Marner with a goal, Matthews, Rielly and Nylander with assists.
Man, Reinhart and Dahlin with some great passing to set up Thomas and he hit the post which was followed up by Marner poking a loose puck home at the other end
Shortly after Thomas hits the post on a Dahlin feed, Marner taps a loose puck home in the crease. Team Matthews leads final 2-1 with 2:49 left in 1st half.
