Penguins center Evgeni Malkin had a goal and an assist and helped Team Chara defeat Team Alfredsson, 12-9, in the All-Star Game at ScotiaBank Place in Ottawa.

Malkin scored the game's second goal against Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist at 5:38 of the first period. He recorded a primary assist on a goal by Flames captain Jarome Iginla at 7:38 of the third.

Penguins defenseman Kris Letang and left winger James Neal each recorded assists for Team Alfredsson. Letang had a secondary assist on a goal by Canucks captain Henrik Sedin at 12:51 of the first. Neal recorded the primary assist on a goal by Sabres captain Jason Pominville at 7:17 of the second period.

It was the first time three Penguins players recorded points in an all-star game since 1996 when Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr and Ron Francis did it.

Chara over Alfredsson. Not that it matters, or to be picky. Love this page!

OK, I'll admit it. I like the All Star game. I like the relaxed atmosphere and seeing the skill guys get to do their thing with zero defense. Do I want every NHL game like that? OMG, no. But I look forward to the skills competition (which you have to record and FF thru the garbage) and the All Star game.

That being said, other than Mike Emrick, I hate everybody on Versu, er, NBC Sports Network or whatever we're calling it now.
