The NHL doubled the number of prizes it usually gives away at the end of the NHL All-Star fantasy draft, handing Honda Accord car keys to Filip Forsberg and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins after the two players were selected last by their respective teams.

The news was devastating for Alex Ovechkin, who was selected third-last after actively campaigning to be the final pick of the night.

Forsberg - the league-leader in rookie scoring - was named as a replacement player Thursday following the news that Evgeni Malkin would miss the weekend's festivities due to an injury.
