Auston Matthews, David Pastrnak among 12 voted to All-Star Game

Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews and Boston Bruins leading scorer David Pastrnak are among the final 12 players voted into the 2023 NHL All-Star Game by fans.

The NHL All-Star Game and All-Star Skills competition will be held at FLA Live Arena, home of the Florida Panthers, in Sunrise, Fla, on Feb. 3-4. The All-Star Game will once again feature a 3-on-3 tournament between 11-player teams representing the league's four divisions.

The NHL changed the format for selecting All-Star Weekend participants this season. In previous seasons, fans voted for four captains and the NHL selected the rest of the players.

For this season's All-Star Game, NHL hockey operations selected the initial 32 players, one from each team, and the fans voted in the final 12 players. The first pool of 32 were revealed on Jan. 5. The online fan vote ran from Jan. 5-17 on the league's official website and on Twitter, where fans voted using player names, handles and hashtags from Jan. 12-14.
