Annually, the KHL plays an All-Star game (unlike the NHL, which takes Olympics and lockout years off). This year, the KHL's All-Stars were shuffled to Bratislava, Slovakia and filed into the home of HC Slovan to play in front of 10,055 fans. They did not disappoint.
For the first period, team East played Mikko Koskinen in goal, while team West played Ivan Lisutin. West began with a Maxim Chudinov goal, assisted by Marcel Hossa and Ilya Gorokhov. West added on as Jonathan Cheechoo scored, thanks to Ilya Kovalchuk and Miroslav Satan. West extended the lead on a Geoff Platt goal, via Viktor Tikhonov and Kurtis Foster. East got on the board with an Enver Lisin goal, passed from Fyodor Malykhin. East pulled closer on a Talgat Zhailauov goal, guided in by Alexander Popov and Brandon Bochenski. West answered on a Sandis Ozolins goal, with a lone assist by Tikhonov. West padded the lead on an unassisted goal by Maxim Afinogenov. East shot back on a Jan Kovar penalty shot conversion after he was tripped by Satan. East pulled closer on a Malykhin goal, made possible by Jori Lehtera and Lisin. East tied it with a Jakub Petruzalek goal, with a lone helper by Yegor Milovzorov. West took the lead back on a Leo Komarov goal, set up by Tikhonov and Deron Quint. This gave them a 6-5 lead at the first intermission.
In the second period, East tied it early on an unassisted goal by Lehtera. West retook the lead as Hossa converted a penalty shot he received after Shaun Heshka tripped him. East tied it again on a Denis Parshin goal, coming off of Kirill Koltsov and Milovzorov. East took the lead with a Milovzorov goal, fueled by Petruzalek. West retied it on a Denis Denisov goal, made possible by Afinogenov and Hossa. West pulled ahead with another Hossa goal, via Milan Bartovic and Afinogenov.
