"2024 NHL All-Star Captains and Rosters Announced, Matthews Leads in Toronto"
Toronto Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews and Edmonton Oilers' Connor McDavid have been selected as captains for the upcoming NHL All-Star Game in Toronto. The NHL has changed the All-Star format, eliminating the divisional teams in favor of a draft system where captains pick their own teams for the 3-on-3 tournament. Matthews, the NHL's leading goal scorer, will also compete in a revamped skills competition with a $1 million prize. Fans will vote online to fill the remaining 12 All-Star spots, with some notable players like William Nylander and Leon Draisaitl requiring fan support to participate. The All-Star weekend will also feature a showcase of PWHL players and is set to be a prominent event for hockey fans.
