The Game
The Central all-stars took on the Pacific to begin the game with two ten-minute periods in each match. It was the stars from the Avalanche who put on a show in the first half as Rantanen and MacKinnon connected for the game’s opening goal at 3:15 and then their chemistry showed again as Rantanen found MacKinnon again on the back door at 8:38 with Makar picking up the other helper, perfection.
