ALL-STAR AGENDA

Fantasy Draft

When: Tonight, 8 o'clock

TV: NBCSN

Where: Columbus Convention Center

Format: Captains Nick Foligno (Blue Jackets) and Jonathan Toews (Blackhawks) go back and forth, with the help of assistant captains, to select the remaining All-Stars over 18 rounds. A puck will be flipped to determine first overall selection. Each team will have three goaltenders, six defensemen and 12 forwards. To ensure final picks are not predetermined because of position requirements, all goaltenders must be selected by the end of Round 10, and all defensemen must be selected by the end of Round 15. One trade per team is allowed. The six rookies in the All-Star Skills Competition will be divided by the NHL into two groups of three.

Skills Competition

When: Tomorrow, 7 o'clock

TV: NBCSN

Where: Nationwide Arena

Format: Six events: fastest skater, breakaway challenge, accuracy shooting, skills challenge relay, hardest shot and shootout.

60th NHL All-Star Game

When: Sunday, 5 o'clock

TV: NBCSN

Where: Nationwide Arena

Format: Team Foligno vs. Team Toews. Kings coach Darryl Sutter will man one bench, Predators coach Peter Laviolette will direct the other. The Flyers' two representatives, Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek, could well end up on opposite teams. A few players, such as Sidney Crosby, Sergei Bobrovsky and Evgeni Malkin, were forced to bow out of the game because of injury.
