For the sixth straight All-Star Game, the NHL will have a four-team, 3-on-3 tournament to determine the sport’s best division. The Metropolitan Division will take on the Atlantic in one matchup, with the Pacific taking on the Central in the other.

The two winners will then face off to determine the winner.

The Metropolitan and Pacific divisions are the only two winners through the first five years of the event. The Atlantic has lost three times in the finals, while the Central has topped the Pacific just once in five years.

Players and fans alike have embraced the unique format, which pays out $1 million to the winning team.

The 2022 NHL All-Star Game will be held Saturday, Feb. 5 in Las Vegas.
