With the new divisional format introduced last year, the annual NHL All-Star Game has become three games, each contested between representatives of the four divisions. The games are played at 3-on-3 and consist of two 10-minute halves, with shootouts used to break ties.
Because the Atlantic Division finished Saturday’s skills competition with the most points, Carey Price and his teammates got to choose their time slot and opponent, electing to play the Metropolitan Division in the second semi-final of the day.
The winning clubs from the semi-finals meet in a final with $1 million going to the winning side.
