As part of the new format for the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game, the All-Stars will take part in a three-game tournament, played in a 3-on-3 format, and featuring teams representing each NHL division.
Florida’s four representatives at the All-Star Game are the most in franchise history.
Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn have been named to the Central Division team in the 2016 NHL All Star Game in Nashville.
Barry Trotz, head coach of the team, also will participate.
Metropolitan Division: Nicklas Backstrom (Washington), Claude Giroux (Philadelphia), Evgeni Malkin (Pittsburgh), Alex Ovechkin (Washington), Brandon Saad (Columbus), John Tavares (New York Islanders), Justin Faulk (Carolina), Kris Letang (Pittsburgh), Ryan McDonagh (New York Rangers), Braden Holtby (Washington), Cory Schneider (New Jersey).
Since being drafted by the Blues in 2010, Tarasenko has 89 goals, 176 points in 219 National Hockey League games. He also has one of the team’s worst plus-minus ratings, minus-11. Roster limitations – six forwards, three defencemen and two goalies for each division – led to Crosby’s exclusion.
The NHL wanted to take a different approach in how the all star game would be played this season.
Jaromir Jagr asked fans not to vote for him but is slated to captain the Atlantic Division.
Luongo is having one of the best seasons of his long career and has entered the discussion for the Vezina Trophy, handed out to the league’s top goaltender.
Lindy Ruff of the Stars will coach the Central Division, and Darryl Sutter of the Kings willl lead the Pacific Division team, which has John Scott as its captain.
