Nashville Predators forward Filip Forsberg scored two goals, including the tying score, during Team (Auston) Matthews' 6-5 shootout victory Saturday at the NHL All-Star Game semifinal in Toronto.

Forsberg also scored a couple of new fans.

Pop star Justin Bieber hovered near Team Matthews' bench, where the honorary captain leaned into the team captain's ear and had the following exchange:

"Forsberg's a nice guy, huh?" Bieber said to Matthews.

"Really good guy," Matthews said as he wiped his face with a towel. "It's kind of the first time I met him, this weekend . . . really good guy."

Forsberg was chosen by Matthews and Bieber on Thursday during the NHL All-Star draft. It was the Predators' all-time leading goal scorer's second All-Star appearance.

Forsberg added a go-ahead goal and assist in the championship game, a 7-4 Team Matthews win against Team (Connor) McDavid.

"Filip Forsberg was a guy I was super excited to see and have on my team," Matthews told an ESPN reporter after Mathews was named MVP. "Like I said the other day, I thought he was the steal of the draft. In my mind he was the MVP of our team."

The compliments began during the draft, when he announced he had chosen Forsberg.

"We know who we're going to pick," he said. "He has the best mustache in the NHL; I quite envy it. From the Nashville Predators, Filip Forsberg."

"That is a lip sweater," the PA announcer said. "Prodigious muzzie. Another finisher."

Forsberg leads the Predators with 24 goals and 51 points. He has 263 career goals.

Bieber has won 379 music awards, including two Grammys. Born in London, Ontario, Bieber is a noted hockey fan.
