NHL All-Star Game

The skills competition will feature some unique Florida flair this year. Follow along here for the latest updates throughout the night.

Al MacInnis D #2 (6) – 1985, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1994. Not a bad four-way tie. All were drafted by the Flames except for Iginla, ...

For starters, maybe booking overlapping All-Star Games isn’t great for either league but we will see if the NHL at least follows suit in the coming years with more emphasis on the skills challenges and entertainment. It’s too much of a risk for player safety in the long run and there just isn’t enough engagement from fans. Well, Iggy tied with Markus Naslund but that’s still a W in the convoluted sea that is the All-Star Game record books. Theo Fluery is the next closest Flame in the ranking with 12 points, with nine of those coming as a Calgary Flame. Johnny Gaudreau holds the record for most single game points from a Flames player at the ASG with 2–2—4 stat line at the 2017 game in Los Angeles. At the time, Iggy was leading the league in scoring with 35 goals. Mike Vernon played the second half of the game and unfortunately recorded a loss in overtime ending the game 6–5 for the Wales Conference. The only Flames to bring home a skills competition trophies were Johnny Gaudreau in the 2018 Puck Control Relay and Jarome Iginla in his inaugural ASG in 2002 for Shooting Accuracy. John scored two goals glove side in the third period with his best coming on the final play of the game. Gives a good hint on paper of how good the battle of Alberta was in the late 80s. The goal capped off a decent night for the all-time great with a 3–3—6 stat line, setting an ASG record. The 2023 NHL All-Star game in Sunrise Florida is set to kick off this Saturday.

Established stars like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Sidney Crosby, Erik Karlsson, Johnny Gaudreau and Alex Ovechkin are among the multi-time returners to ...

Players start from center ice and must shoot on the rush. The in-net goalie will face one, two or three players in a shootout. The shooting goalie will take a shot and try to get it into a designated hole. If there's a tiebreaker, a longest-drive competition will determine the victor. Six players will participate in the pitch 'n puck, an event that mixes hockey with golf. Players take turns skating in and firing a slap shot into the net. In this event, players must put their shooting accuracy to the test. Players can get creative with their shootout attempts, using props, costumes and even special guests to help get the judge's vote. Four of these challenges have been around for years, which include the fastest skater, breakaway challenge, accuracy shooting and hardest shot. ESPN and its platforms will be the home of the 2023 NHL All-Star Weekend. The Central Division faces off against the Pacific Division in the first semifinal. Among the first-timers are Artemi Panarin, Linus Ullmark, Adam Fox and Jason Robertson.

The NHL has arguably the most unique All-Star format out of any professional sports league. While the NBA, MLB and NFL have one game featuring the two ...

As a result, the league instituted 3-on-3 at the All-Star Game, starting in 2016. The NHL went back to Eastern Conference vs. In 1951 and 1952, the league deviated and did two All-Star teams, one with all American-based teams and one with all Canadian-based clubs. In 1998, the NHL wanted to celebrate its players from outside of North America. In fact, the NHL utilized the conference vs. This format continued until a year after the 1967 NHL expansion.

Things are a bit different this year for a couple of reasons -- he's moved from Calgary of the Western Conference to Columbus of the East, and he has a 4-month- ...

I'm excited to rep the Blue Jackets and have a great weekend down there." He's not a boisterous guy, but I think you watch him, he loves to practice, he loves to play, he loves to compete. I spoke to my family and my wife and that was really important to me." He can turn things on a dime, forehand, backhand, his pace of play, he can dish the puck, he can score. He's also been a good addition to the CBJ locker room. A career point-per-game player, Gaudreau has continued to be one of the most consistent producers in the league, notching 14 goals and 35 assists for 49 points in 51 games for the banged-up Blue Jackets. Gaudreau has a career mark of five goals and 14 points in his previous six appearances, and he knows what it takes to navigate a successful weekend, including two previous titles in the current 3-on-3 format. 10 place sixth in the NHL, and his speed, vision and creativity have been key parts of the CBJ attack this year. There's a lot of things that he can do that probably 98 percent of the league can't do. If Gaudreau continues his play from the opening half of this season, the East will be in luck. In the past, playing in Calgary, you don't get to see your family too much playing out there and playing in the Western Conference. It helps that he's a veteran of the All-Star Game process, as his seven appearances at this year's contest tie for the second most with San Jose's Erik Karlsson, one behind Washington's Alex Ovechkin.

The NHL All-Star Game needs a serious re-think, but what changes could the league make to rejuvenate the tired format?

Imagine you're an NHL goaltender and you have the duo of Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin bearing down on you. No day at the beach, right? Or is it?

So will it be the obvious stars that shine near South Beach on the first Saturday of February, as in Crosby to Ovechkin for the Metro Division’s game winner? the Atlantic in the second. The Central Division will meet the Pacific in the first game, followed by the Metropolitan vs. For the first time ever, the league is presenting the NHL Splash Shot, which will be held at Fort Lauderdale Beach on Friday, February 3, and will feature eight players divided into four teams of two sharpshooters each, trying to dunk their opponents into a water tank.

“He brought it every day in practice and every night in the games. And even as the Red Wings’ season devolved into one of the most challenging in recent NHL memory, “I can’t say there was too many nights where I said, ‘you know what, Dylan didn’t bring it tonight,'” Yzerman said. “And then there are defensemen that are like (Makar).” Makar’s distinct skillset and historic results are the reason he was The Athletic’s NHL Person of the Year for 2022. Crosby’s greater mission, though, has always been to comfort the sick and unlucky among us with an uncommon grace and thoughtfulness that is uniquely his own. Sullivan needed to speak with Sidney Crosby and was walking briskly on the event level of Xcel Energy Center. “Specifically talking about those two, they’re so driven and I think they’re driven to win the Cup every year,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said before Saturday’s skills competition. Meanwhile, Chicago hasn’t won a (non-bubble) playoff series since the 2015 Final, and hasn’t made the playoffs since 2017.

Kadri’s inclusion in the all-star game is a nice reward for a solid half season of work from the Flames’ prized free-agent acquisition from last summer. “It’s always nice to be in a warm city and make a vacation out of it,” Kadri said. “It’s almost like there’s a party every single night, so you’ve gotta make sure you don’t stay out too late the day before the game and actually get some rest.” And it’s almost going to be a good time.

The Sporting News has you covered on all the results and highlights from the 2023 NHL All-Star Skills night.

Rantanen finished in 25.5 seconds, dunking Crosby on the final target. Fox was able to finish hitting all the targets in 26.5 seconds to dunk Matthew Tkachuk. Pettersson wins the Hardest Shot competition for 2023. All four hit the targets in under 15 seconds. Pastrnak channeled his inner Adam Sandler, dressing up as Happy Gilmore for the competition. Luongo made the stop on the breakaway attempt, but the judges aren't impressed, as they gave three 5s and a 6. That's what Ovechkin and Crosby do. You want a cheat code to winning the judge's over? Makar wiped out on his attempt and Kaprizov ended up not participating in the event. Fiala finished with a slower time than his first lap. Player The star of the evening was Alex Ovechkin's 4-year-old son Sergei.

How did the NHL pull off the Pitch 'n' Puck and Splash Shot events? We pull back the curtain on two signature South Florida contests.

For the second shooter in a row, direct hits to the targets didn't bring down the boards. "They said he wanted to do it," Mayer said of Shesterkin, who wielded his goalie stick in the competition. As he shook the water out of his hair, a fan chanted "Let's go Flyers!" "It was weird, trying to get the technique down," Suzuki said. When the NHL discussed the event with the Rangers, the team offered up Shesterkin as a possibility to team with Fox. Mayer said they wanted to do a dunk talk on the ice during the skills competition. He knocked the ball in with his stick and casually waved to the crowd. The players walked over to the green. The NHL set up a giant rack of playing cards set up on The Strip for Hockey Blackjack -- players shot pucks at the cards in an effort to make 21. There was the need to "spread the wealth," considering that there are seven skills events in total. To protect the grass, the NHL put a large patch of turf where the unorthodox putting happened. "But it was a lot of fun.

The New York Islanders have had some good performances in NHL All-Star Games. Here are some of their top ones.

He represented the Islanders in 2011 as one of the rookies to participate in the event. Westfall played seven seasons with the Islanders scoring 105 goals and adding 181 assists for 286 points in 493 games. I am now also covering the New York Islanders at The Hockey Writers. The high-scoring New York Islanders defenceman played in nine All-Star games. In addition, he was named the captain of the Wales Conference All-Stars during the 1985 event. The Islanders have hosted the All-Star game once over their 50 years of existence. In 1982, he was named the MVP as he scored two goals, including the game-winner, in a low scoring 4-2 victory. He picked up a goal and an assist while making his All-Star debut in the 2012 event. In his All-Star debut in 1976, he chipped in with two assists. Turgeon scored three goals and two assists as the Wales Conference as they beat the Campbell Conference 16-6.

"I thought it was a fun event," NHL chief content officer and executive vice president Steve Mayer said. Once on the green, they putted with a hockey stick and golf ball. It was pretty cool to be a part of."

The NHL All-Star event needs the incentive to make it more interesting. The All-Star game seriously needs more at stake, more of an incentive for the players to take it a bit more seriously. All the players selected throw their sticks in the middle of the ice, creating a nice pile just like at the ODR or street hockey. I love the creativity here only problem I find is the players and fans will also view this as a waste of time. Nick is right, the NHL needs to make it more of a showcase. Bring the game back to its roots.

It will mark the first time the NHL's midseason showcase is in Canada since Ottawa hosted in 2012. Toronto's Scotiabank Arena last hosted in 2000.

“We are excited and honored to announce the 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend in Toronto,” Maple Leafs president and alternate governor Brendan Shanahan added in the release. “Toronto fans are among the most knowledgeable and passionate in our game and the city’s rich hockey history dates back to the creation of the sport.

The 2024 Honda All-Star Game will be the 68th in NHL history. It's a celebration of the game and what better place to have an all-star celebration for fans to connect." "We are excited and honored to announce the 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend in Toronto," Maple Leafs president and alternate governor Brendan Shanahan said. Thirteen years later, the Maple Leafs hosted the first official NHL All-Star Game in 1947, which called for the defending Stanley Cup champion to play against a selection of All-Stars from the other five teams. The NHL hasn't held an All-Star Game in Toronto since 2000, and prior to that in 1968. "We are thrilled to bring the NHL All-Star Game back to Toronto for the ninth time, and to shine a spotlight on our current stars in a setting that evokes over a century of League history," Commissioner Bettman said.

The NHL officially announced one of if its worst-held secrets on Saturday at FLA Live Arena, home of the Florida Panthers and the 2023 event.

“When players come through New York and sometimes stop by our office to do media, they come and visit me and we close the door and kind of have an off-the-record conversation to see what’s on their mind. - The NHL’s investigation of sexual assault allegations involving Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team is “substantially complete,” Daly said. Asked if the league’s stances could alienate the very audience they’re trying to reach, Bettman said: “We’re trying to be open, welcoming and inclusive. The ones you don’t choose to do don’t necessarily make you bigoted, misogynistic or homophobic or racist.” Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid is a proponent of 10-minute three-on-three overtime, instead of five minutes, while some would like to scrap the wild-card format and division-based playoffs and go back to a conference-based system with teams seeded one through eight. Bettman was on the defensive regarding the league’s outreach program for the LGBTQ community, part of the NHL’s Hockey Is For Everyone campaign. “I think you’re taking the bridge too far,” said Bettman. It’s really a celebration of the game.” Ron DeSantis had criticized the fair because straight white men were not mentioned on the invitation, and the league changed course. “Toronto is the centre of the hockey universe,” deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Saturday. “(But) Toronto is always a good place to visit, a good place to play in. Similar fundraisers were held until it became a formal all-star event in the 1947-48 season.

The NHL's best will compete in a three-on-three tournament to crown an All-Star Game champion.

Making the All-Star Game more intense will always be a challenge because of the lack of physicality and stakes, but there could be ways to make it more fun. In this weekend's All-Star Game, Metro Division head coach Rod Brind'Amour made the wise decision to put Ovechkin and Crosby on the same line, and it paid off. In the championship matchup, Tkachuk notched another goal and an assist while leading the Atlantic team to a win. Fortunately for the local Florida Panthers fans in Sunrise, Matthew Tkachuk was on a mission to show out for them. In order for the Central Division to win the final, it was going to have to up its intensity level, and that did not happen. Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin teamed up for a pair of goals that drew a big reaction from the crowd, and Johnny Gaudreau scored a hat trick for the Metro Division.

Perhaps, his scoring ability would be further brought to light with the presence of Pettersson (at least 36 assists in each of four full seasons) and Fiala (138 helpers over last four seasons) there to do it for him. Kadri, 32, can be a physical player as he has 53 hits this season and the reputation of getting under his opponent’s skin. Kucherov leads the NHL with 53 assists this season while Thompson is tied for third with 34 goals. Svechnikov is currently tied for 64th in the NHL with 105 hits this season. With Ovechkin being known as a weak defensive player and Hughes just entering his prime, putting Fox with them could make up for their defensive deficiencies in addition to having a playmaking defenseman.
