The 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game will feature a 3-on-3 All-Star Tournament. The new format will divide the All-Star Game into three 20-minute games, with star players from each Division making up the four All-Star teams: Pacific, Central, Atlantic, and Metropolitan. Players are facing off for a winner-take-all $1 million prize.

Each game will be 20 minutes in length. Teams will change ends at the 10-minute mark of each game. Games that are tied after 20 minutes will be decided by a shootout.

The Eastern Conference won the Honda NHL All-Star Skills Competition and elected to play the first game today. Accordingly, the Atlantic Division All-Stars (wearing black) will face the Metropolitan Division All-Stars (wearing white) in the first of the two semifinal games, followed by Central Division All-Stars (wearing black) against the Pacific Division All-Stars (wearing white) in the second semifinal.

The winner of each semifinal will face off in the Final.

* All NHL Rules apply to each game.

* There will be a hard whistle at the 10-minute mark of each game. At this time, teams and goalies will change ends.

* Video Review will be used to confirm all goals. NHL Hockey Operations will initiate any potential coach’s challenge reviews.

* All minor penalties will be one minute in length. Manpower advantages during these penalties will reflect current NHL Rules, where at no time will a team have fewer than three players on the ice – this may require a fourth and/or fifth skater to be added.

The referees for today's game are Dan O'Rourke (#9) and Ian Walsh (#29). The linesmen are Jonny Murray (#95) and Vaughan Rody (#73). All four officials are making their All-Star Game debut.
