		Alfredsson, the Ottawa star who played most of the game on a line with rival Mats Sundin of Toronto, made it 5-3 late in the second by swiping in a Sundin rebound that lay in the crease between Vokoun's pads.
		Sakic was the 14th player in All-Star history to score three or more goals; five share the record with four goals, including 2003 MVP Dany Heatley of the East in a 6-5 overtime loss to the West.

	CNNSI.com - 2003 NHL All-Star Game - West wins NHL All-Star Game in shootout - Monday February 03, 2003 05:58 PM
		Heatley, a not-so-well known star from a last-place team playing in his first All-Star game, joined hockey greats such as Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux by scoring a record-tying four goals Sunday, though he couldn't prevent the Western Conference from beating the East in the first All-Star shootout in NHL history.
		However, the four-time All-Star is mired in the longest goal-scoring drought of his 12-year career, a 28-game dry spell that dates to December 5.
		The relatively low score was a welcome change from the football-like scores of the most recent All-Star games; 212 goals were scored in the previous 13 games.

		The NHL's collective bargaining agreement expires this summer, and a season-threatening lockout has been widely predicted if the players' union refuses to accept some sort of salary restraint.
