LAS VEGAS - A weekend in Vegas, and no regrets.

Nick Suzuki enjoyed a memorable first appearance at the NHL All-Star game, despite the Atlantic Division bowing out early during Saturday's marquee event.
The Central Division topped the Atlantic 8-5 in the teams' first matchup, capping a busy weekend in Sin City for Suzuki.
"It was a lot of fun. Just being around the guys and getting to experience this for the first time was pretty cool. I just tried to have fun and not stress about it too much," described the 22-year-old, who had 6:06 of ice time in Saturday's 20-minute contest. "Vegas did a great job of hosting us. All the events and things behind the scenes have been great. It's been really smooth, and they've really set us up for success here."

On Friday, the former Golden Knights draft pick took part in the inaugural Fountain Face-Off, backdropped of course by the iconic Fountains of Bellagio.

He also dazzled during his attempt at the returning Save Streak event, showing off hands worthy of a magic show on the Strip.
