Fans chose Russians Bobrovsky and Georgiev to participate in the NHL All-Star Game
Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and Colorado Avalanche goaltender Alexander Georgiev will take part in the National Hockey League (NHL) All-Star Game. This was reported on the league website.
The hockey players were chosen by fan voting. In addition to the two Russians, by decision of the fans, Jeremy Swayman from the Boston Bruins, Cale Makar from Colorado and Leon Draisaitl from the Edmonton Oilers will perform at the tournament.
Earlier it became known that three more Russians would play in the All-Star Game: New York Rangers goalkeeper Igor Shesterkin, Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov and Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov. Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin was not included in the NHL list.
The 2024 NHL All-Star Game will take place in Toronto from February 1 to 3. This season, the team selection process for the three-on-three tournament has changed, with a draft in which team captains from four divisions will select players along with celebrities. The concept of the master show has also been changed – 12 hockey players will compete for one million dollars in competitions using the all-around system.
