The NHL All-Star Game is this Sunday, January 25th and 42 All-Stars and 6 rookies will descend upon Columbus, Ohio for the festivities. Much like the last All-Star Game, way back in 2011-12, two captains are selected after the fan voting has been completed. The two captains, this year the Blue Jackets' Nick Foligno, and the Blackhawks' Jonathan Toews, will conduct a fantasy draft of all the players. This format was implemented back in the 2011 ASG, changing from the conventional East vs. West conference match-ups format to this new captains format.
The Minnesota Wild's only representative will be star defenseman Ryan Suter. Will it be Team Toews or Team Foligno? Stay tuned to find out which team he lands on.
Tonight's draft will take place at 7 PM CT on NBCSN, SportsNet, and TVA Sports across the United States and Canada.
