The NHL's decision not to send players to the Olympics this year means that the league's top talent will instead showcase its skills at the All-Star Game, which is slated to be played in Las Vegas on Feb. 5.

As in years past, 11 players from each division (nine skaters and two goalies) will face off in a 3-on-3 tournament, with the winner taking all. The NHL on Thursday announced 10 participants for each division, with the 11th roster spot being voted on by fans in the Last Man In competition.
