The structure of the event is based on a three-on-three mini-tournament scheme. The day includes three games lasting twenty minutes each.
The first match (3 p.m.) will feature the Metropolitan Division and the Pacific Division, while the second duel (4 p.m.) will pit the Atlantic Division against the Central.
The final confrontation will obviously involve the winning section of each game.
Nick Suzuki, sole representative of the Montreal Canadiens, will be part of the Atlantic, a formation that has been designated by bookmakers as the favorite of the event. Quebecers Jonathan Huberdeau and Patrice Bergeron are also part of it.
