The top 5 All-Star Game moments with the 3-on-3 format

The NHL is heading into just its third All-Star Game with the three-on-three format, but there have already been several legendary moments from the first two years. Here are the top five:

Scott scores 2 goals, wins MVP (2016)

When longtime enforcer John Scott was voted in as an All-Star captain, the choice came with plenty of scrutiny. Yet, his lone All-Star appearance couldn't have gone any better, as Scott scored two goals and was named MVP en route to helping the Pacific Division win the tournament.

Scott drops the mitts with Kane (2016)

Even though no punches actually landed, it was still pretty hilarious to see Scott drop the gloves with Patrick Kane, who would go on to win the Hart, the Pearson, and the Art Ross that season.

Gibson robs Seguin (2016)

John Gibson's toe save on Tyler Seguin while in the splits was one of the nicest stops of the 2015-16 season, All-Star Game or not. Adding icing on the cake, the save led directly to a goal for the Pacific Division.

McDavid undresses Bobrobvsky (2017)

Even while at what's probably half-speed for Connor McDavid, he was able to elude a sprawling Sergei Bobrovsky by putting on the brakes and giving Bobs the old shimmy shake. It was certainly the nicest goal of last year's tournament.

Atkinson's slick dangle (2017)

Cam Atkinson was a late addition to the Metro roster, but given his 35-goal breakout campaign (24 of which came prior to the All-Star break), he probably should've been there to begin with. He seemed out to prove that fact, walking around Erik Karlsson before tucking one past Tuukka Rask. Unfortunately for Atkinson, things haven't gone as smoothly this season.
