A total of 20 future Hockey Hall of Famers took part in the East Division's 4-1 win against the West, although Blues goalie Jacques Plante didn't allow a goal after entering the game midway through the second period.

Two players who have appeared in the four previous All-Star Games under the 3-on-3 format will participate this year: Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby and Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane.

But the concept of pitting the League's elite against each other was used in three previous games staged to benefit the families of former NHL stars Ace Bailey (1934), Howie Morenz (1937) and Babe Siebert (1939).

Singing the Blues St. Louis has four representatives on the Central Division team -- goalie Jordan Binnington, center Ryan O'Reilly, forward David Perron and defenseman Alex Pietrangelo.

In addition to one each for the four Blues players, Patrick Kane (2010, 2013 and 2015 with the Chicago Blackhawks), Tyler Seguin of the Dallas Stars (2011 with the Boston Bruins) and Eric Staal of the Minnesota Wild (2006 with the Carolina Hurricanes) have won Stanley Cup championships.

It's the third straight year a Vancouver rookie has played in the game; Hughes joins Brock Boeser (2018) and Elias Pettersson (2019).
