Panthers to officially host 2021 NHL All-Star Game

The NHL All-Star Game is returning to Sunrise, as the Florida Panthers will host the 2021 event, the league announced Friday.

It will take place Jan. 29 and 30, the team announced.

Bettman said the NHL and NHLPA are in discussions about giving it international flavor, according to NHL.com's Tom Gulitti.

The Panthers are hosting for the second time in their history, and for the first time since 2003.

Atlanta Thrashers forward Dany Heatley was named MVP that year after tying an All-Star record with four goals. He also became the first player to score four consecutive markers in the game.
