The puck is set to drop on the 2022 NHL All-Star Game tomorrow afternoon in Las Vegas! The NHL All-Star rosters are going to look much different than in any year past. This is simply because the NHL has a remarkable group of young talent, resulting in 19 first-time NHL All-Stars.
The format will remain the same as in recent years. There are three total games played in the 3-on-3 style. The 2022 NHL All-Star rosters will be made up of nine skaters and two goalies representing their respective divisions.
Since starting this format in 2016, neither the Metropolitan or Atlantic Divisions have been able to win the NHL All-Star Game. Let’s take a look at this year’s NHL All-Star rosters for each division, then share the start time and schedule for this weekend.
