The American Hockey League does its 3 on 3 All-Star Challenge a little bit differently than the NHL. Each division’s All-Star team plays each other All-Star team in a round-robin series of 10-minute games, two halves of 5 minutes each. The two best teams after the round-robin games are completed play a final 6 minute 3 on 3 game to determine a winner.
Game 1: Pacific Division 2 @ North Division 2 (SO)
The Challenge began with the de facto home team, the North Division, taking on the Pacific. Belleville’s Egor Sokolov opened the scoring at 4:26 of the first half.
