CAMPBELL CONFERENCE WINS ALL-STAR SHOOTOUT
After missing last season's NHL All-Star Game, Brett Hull didn't miss the net Saturday.
Scoring two goals with the help of linemate Wayne Gretzky, Hull led the Campbell Conference to a 10-6 victory over the Wales in another typical high-scoring game.
The 16 goals tied the second-highest combined goal total in All-Star history, set last year at Chicago where the Campbell beat the Wales 11-5. The record of 19 was set in 1990 when the Wales beat the Campbell 12-7 at Pittsburgh.
Hull was looking forward to Saturday's 43rd All-Star Game at the Spectrum after missing last year's show because of an injured foot.
The St. Louis Blues star was especially looking forward to playing on a line for the first time with Gretzky, the Los Angeles Kings center who is the NHL's all-time leading scorer.
He wasn't disappointed.
Hull set up Gretzky for a first-period goal, then Gretzky returned the favor twice in the second period when the Campbell Conference turned the game into a rout with six goals.
Hull was voted the game's most valuable player.
Gretzky's goal improved his All-Star record to 12 goals. The goals for Hull, the NHL's goal-scoring leader this season, were his first in three All-Star Games.
Both starting goaltenders, Ed Belfour of the Campbell Conference and Patrick Roy of the Wales, had strong first periods, keeping the score relatively low.
The Campbell outshot the Wales 15-14 and led 2-1 after the first 20 minutes.
But the game reverted to its usual offensive show in the second period when the teams combined for eight goals - the second-highest figure for a period in All-Star history. The combined total of nine was set in the 1990 game.
The only thing missing from the game was penalties: For the first time in All-Star history, none was called. \
