The NHL All-Star Game is back in San Jose for the first time in 21 years, with hockey’s brightest stars set for a Saturday skate at SAP Center (8 p.m. ET, NBC).

The host Sharks are represented with three players — leading point man Brent Burns, team goal-scoring leader Joe Pavelski, and defenseman Erik Karlsson. This is the second All-Star Game hosted by San Jose, and the first since 1997.

NHL scoring leader Nikita Kucherov is on the Atlantic Division squad, the third All-Star appearance for the Lightning right-winger.

The fans voted for captains of each divisional team — Auston Matthews of the Maple Leafs for the Atlantic; Nathan MacKinnon of the Avalanche for the Central; and Connor McDavid of the Oilers for the Pacific. NHL leading goal scorer Alex Ovechkin of the defending Stanley Cup champion Capitals was also voted a captain, but announced in early January that he was skipping the All-Star Game to rest in preparation for the remainder of the season.
