The National Hockey League has selected Elias Pettersson to represent the Vancouver Canucks at the 2023 NHL All-Star Game in Sunrise, Florida.
Pettersson will don a Canucks jersey at the All-Star Skills Competition at FLA Live Arena on February 3 before skating for Team Pacific in the divisional 3-on-3 tournament the following day.
This will be Pettersson’s third NHL All-Star Game appearance. He ranks second on the Canucks with 17 goals and leads the team with 44 points. He’s under contract through the end of the 2023–24 season at a $7.35 million cap hit.
Pettersson previously skated for the Pacific Division at the 2019 and 2020 NHL All-Star Games, winning the 3-on-3 tournament in the latter year. Thatcher Demko represented the Canucks at the 2022 event in Las Vegas.
The NHL announced one representative from each of its 32 member teams on Thursday evening. Fans will have the ability to select three more players from each of the league’s four divisions to attend the event in Florida.
