The Pacific Division proved beyond a shadow of doubt that it is indeed the best division in the NHL with a win over Team Central.
- Jonathan Quick stopped all 10 shots he faced in the first period, no mean feat in the All-Star game. Unfortunately, Roberto Luongo matched him save for save, and the teams went into the break tied at 0.
- The first period lacked for scoring but not entertainment, as the chances continued to come and the 3-on-3 format continued to be a revelation. Particularly great was this Quick save on Jaromir Jagr.
