2016: The NHL All-Star Game begins a new era when teams comprised of players from each of the four divisions take the ice at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville for a 3-on-3 tournament.

The Atlantic Division rallies to defeat the Metropolitan Division 4-3 in the first of two 20-minute semifinal games, and the Pacific Division outscores the Central Division 9-6 in the second. In the championship game, Corey Perry of the Anaheim Ducks scores the only goal in a 1-0 victory for the Pacific Division.

The most valuable player award goes to forward John Scott, who's voted by fans as the captain of the Pacific Division and scores two goals in the win against the Central Division.
