Watch NHL All-Star Weekend live stream: preview
The National Hockey League is heading to Fort Lauderdale, not for spring break but something only slightly less raucous – the All-Star Weekend. Featuring seven Skills Competitions at various venues all around and the Sunshine State, and the All-Star Game at FLA Live Arena, the home of the Florida Panthers, it's a chance for the NHL's best players to flaunt their talents, show off their personalities, and get one over an opponent or two.
It's always a memorable occasion, but this year's event promises to be extra special for Alex Ovechkin, who's taking part in his eighth All-Star Game and his first since 2018 (having had to skip his last three call ups), and for Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk, representing his team in his hometown, alongside his brother, Senators forward Brady Tkachuk.
The All-Star Game component of the weekend takes part on Saturday. It's a three-game tournament played in a 3-on-3 format, and the head coaches are Rod Brind'Amour (Metropolitan), Jim Montgomery (Atlantic), Peter DeBoer (Central) and Bruce Cassidy (Pacific).
Friday is Skills Competition day, and there are a few new games on the cards this year, one of which involves dunking! We've listed the rosters and details of the Skills Competition further down the page.

NHL All-Star Skills Competition 2023
The 2023 All-Star Skills Competition is being held on Friday, February 3, starting at 7pm ET / 6pm CT / 4pm PT. Once again, it will encompass seven events, three of which are brand new.
Splash Shot sounds like the most exciting of them all, and the recipe for a an all-out brawl on the Fort Lauderdale beach. Eight players, split into four pairings, will have to hit a series of targets in order to earn the chance to dunk their opponents.
Pitch 'n Puck sounds pretty great too, combining ice hockey and golf to create the super-sport that every kid has dreamed about at least once. Six players will be let loose on a par-4 hole featuring an island green, and will have to sink a puck. In the event of a tie, the player who hit the longest drives takes the win.
Tendy Tandem is essentially a direct replacement for Save Streak, and requires eight goalies to pair up, with one shooting and the other in net, guarding a hole (three points) and a target (two points). Standard shootout rules apply, and the duo with the most points wins.
And, of course, there are the old favorites Fastest Skater, Hardest Shot, Breakaway Challenge, and Accuracy Shooting.
