Where is the 2020 NHL All-Star Game being played?
Just over a mile from the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, sits Enterprise Center, the home of the 2020 NHL All-Star Game. This year's event marks the third time St. Louis will host; the Blues previously hosted the event in 1970 and 1988 at St. Louis Arena.
Who are the 2020 NHL All-Star Game captains?
The following players were voted as division captains by the fans : Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak (Atlantic), Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon (Central), Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin (Metropolitan) and Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid (Pacific).
Ovechkin opted to not participate in the weekend for the fourth time in his career citing a need to "get ready for the second half of the year." Kris Letang was named as the Metropolitan's captain in his place.
Who are the head coaches for the 2020 NHL All-Star Game?
For the first time in recent memory, there was a head coach controversy. Boston's Bruce Cassidy (Atlantic), Washington's Todd Reirden (Metropolitan), St. Louis' Craig Berube and Vegas' Gerard Gallant (Pacific) were named as they the head coaches of their teams with the highest points percentage at the halfway point of the regular season.
In a surprising move, Gallant was fired on Jan. 15 by the Golden Knights and while rumors swirled in regards to who will fill the spot, the NHL announced the following day that Arizona head coach Rick Tocchet will serve behind the bench.
