The hockey stars are hitting the ice in full force, as the NHL regular season is in full swing. The 32 NHL clubs have their eyes on the Stanley Cup, but before we get to the postseason, one of the marquee events of the season is the NHL All-Star Weekend.
The festivities, which feature the best players in the league, is set to take place over two days down in sunny south Florida, as the league will hold its skills competition and All-Star Game in Sunrise, Fla., home of the Panthers.
The weekend allows the stars of the league, such as Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews and Nathan MacKinnon, to showcase their abilities in friendly skill events and 3 on 3 games. Last year, the Metropolitan Division earned the win in the ASG, taking down the Central Division in the finals.
