The Metropolitan Division booked its ticket to the final of the 2019 NHL All-Star Game, defeating the Atlantic Division, 7-4.

Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby opened the scoring just 15 seconds in with his first of two goals in the game. Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones also added a pair of goals, and Penguins' Kris Letang potted the eventual game-winner with just under four minutes to play.

Toronto Maple Leafs' John Tavares led the way for the Atlantic with a goal and an assist, while Steven Stamkos and Jeff Skinner put forth their respective bids for goal of the night.

The result offers a complete reversal from one year ago, as the Atlantic Division topped the Metropolitan by the same score, 7-4, at the 2018 All-Star Game.

The stage has been set, as the Metropolitan Division is slated to meet the Central in the championship game.
