Athletistic/Hockey. Tampa Bay right forward Nikita Kucherov, New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shestyorkin and Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov are on this year’s NHL All-Star Game roster. The tournament will take place February 1-3 at Scowshabank Arena in Toronto, according to the NHL on its official social media account X (formerly Twitter).

The league today announced its initial 32-player roster for the All-Star Game, including one representative from each team selected by Hockey Operations. Each division has a team of seven outfield players and a goalkeeper who will compete in the 3-on-3 tournament. An additional 12 players will be selected through fan voting.

Recall that in the previous season Kucherov was also among the first participants in the All-Star Game. The Russian striker managed to score two goals and provide an assist in two games and helped the Atlantic team win the tournament 3-on-3.
