Hometown heroes Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty both scored, as did Connor McDavid and Brent Burns, as the Pacific Division thumped the Central Division 10-3 in the NHL All-Star tournament semifinal Sunday.
Cam Fowler led the way with four points and Johnny Gaudreau paced all scorers with a pair of markers in the victory, which ensured the Pacific Division squad a spot in the championship final against either the Metropolitan or Atlantic Division.
McDavid scored his first All-Star goal in highlight-reel fashion as the Pacific Division put five past Central Division goaltender Corey Crawford in the opening frame.
