Nylander, Marner, Rielly of Maple Leafs, 4 Canucks added to All-Star roster

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks will have multiple players at the 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend thanks to NHL fans.

Maple Leafs forwards William Nylander, Mitch Marner and defenseman Morgan Rielly were added to the All-Star Game rosters via the 2024 NHL All-Star Fan Vote presented by MassMutual announced by the NHL on Saturday and will join forward Auston Matthews when they host the event at Scotiabank Arena on Feb. 1-3. It will be the third All-Star Game appearance for Marner, and the first for Nylander and Rielly.

Canucks forwards J.T. Miller (first appearance), Brock Boeser (second), Elias Pettersson (fourth), and goalie Thatcher Demko (second) were also voted in and will join defenseman Quinn Hughes in Toronto.

More than 36 million votes were cast over eight days in the fan vote. Demko led all players with 1,398,699 while Nylander was second in the vote and led all skaters with 1,393,578. Coloroado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar also topped 1 million votes with 1,065,367.

Earlier Saturday, goalie Alexandar Georgiev of the Avalanche, Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl, and goalies Sergei Bobrovsky of the Florida Panthers and Jeremy Swayman of the Boston Bruins were named the first five winners of the fan vote.

“It is a privilege and I appreciate the votes,” Bobrovsky said. “It is a big deal for me. I am happy to be there. It is a privilege and an honor to represent our franchise at such an event.”

Those 12 (eight skaters, four goalies) will join the 32 players selected by the League, including Matthews and Hughes, who were announced Jan. 4

In addition to the five fan vote winners, the NHL announced the 10 All-Stars who will participate in the 2024 NHL All-Star Skills presented by DraftKings Sportsbook. Those players are David Pastrnak of the Bruins, Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Draisaitl and Connor McDavid of the Oilers, Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils, MacKinnon, Makar, Matthews, Nylander and Pettersson.

The 2024 NHL All-Star Skills Fan Vote presented by MassMutual, which will determine the final two participants of the 2024 NHL All-Star Skills presented by DraftKings Sportsbook, is now open online at NHL.com/vote and via X (formerly Twitter) and closes on Thursday, Jan. 18, at 11:59:59 p.m. EST. All X votes will be combined with online vote totals.

All-Star Weekend, which runs from Feb. 1-3 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, will have a completely new look this year. The player draft will return as part of a new event: NHL All-Star Thursday.

Celebrities will be paired with captains for the Tim Hortons NHL All-Star Player Draft (6 p.m. ET; SN, ESPN). They will pick the four teams of 11 players (nine skaters, two goalies) for the NHL All-Star Game.

The NHL Alumni Association will announce its Man of the Year in a tribute to the 1967 Toronto Maple Leafs, their last team to win the Stanley Cup (SN). The Professional Women's Hockey League will also play a 3-on-3 game (SN, ESPN+).

The 2024 NHL All-Star Game, which will take place Feb. 3, will be available on ABC, ESPN+, SN, CBC and TVAS.

“It feels awesome; I’m still processing it, kind of,” Georgiev said. “I appreciate it so much all the fans that voted me in. I think it’s a big team success first. I try to play my part and like you see our guys are playing so great, we have a chance to win every night. I just try to do my best on the defense side of it, but a huge thanks to my team. It’s all thanks to them.”

The skills competition, which will be held Feb. 2 (7 p.m. ET; ESPN, ESPN+, SN, TVAS), will have a new look this year as well, with 12 NHL All-Stars competing for points in eight events, with the NHL All-Star who accumulates the most points taking home a prize of $1 million.

Each player will compete in four of the first six events listed below, earning points for their respective finish in each event.

The events are: Fastenal NHL Fastest Skater; Rogers NHL Hardest Shot; Upper Deck NHL Stick Handling; NHL One Timers; NHL Passing Challenge; Cheetos NHL Accuracy Shooting.

The top eight point-earners will advance to the seventh event, the Honda NHL Shootout, where each player will choose which goalie they shoot against. Following the Honda NHL Shootout, the top six point-earners will advance to the eighth and final event, the Pepsi NHL Obstacle Course, where the point totals are doubled.

"We've decided to add a third night to an already vibrant weekend," NHL chief content officer Steve Mayer said. "We felt like this was a year to make some changes."
