Before the NHL ramps up for the final drive to the post-season, it will be taking a break to highlight some of its greatest talent and personalities in a showcase of what the sport has to offer.
This year, the best players will convene at Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay to put their skills on display over the two-day event.
