2015 National Hockey League All-Star Game
The 2015 National Hockey League All-Star Game was an exhibition ice hockey game played on January 25, 2015. The game was held in Columbus, Ohio, for the first time, at Nationwide Arena, home of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The team captains were chosen by NHL Hockey Operations: Nick Foligno of the All-Star Game-hosting Blue Jackets served as captain for the home team, and Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks served for the away team. Team Toews won the game 17–12, as the teams and players broke a variety of All-Star Game scoring records.
Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks was voted into the All-Star Game and eventually selected to be a team captain.
Jiri Sekac of the Montreal Canadiens was selected as one of six rookies to take place in the All-Star Skills Competition.
A lower-body injury led Sidney Crosby to miss a fifth-straight All-Star Game.
John Tavares (c. 2013) scored four goals for Team Toews, becoming the sixth player in NHL history to do so in an All-Star Game.
Nicholas Foligno is an American professional ice hockey left winger and alternate captain for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the first round, 28th overall by the Ottawa Senators during the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. Foligno was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets six years later, and eventually was named the team's captain for six seasons.
