2016 NHL All-Star Sunday Preview:

The NHL's best are set to square off this evening in a 3-on-3 mini tournament. Matt Duchene and the Central hope to show why the Central Division is the best in hockey.

The NHL's move this season to a 3-on-3 sudden death overtime format has sure induced more than a few heart attacks among hockey fans. The open ice, wide-open shooting lanes, and precarious substitutions are as nerve wracking as any moment during regulation play. The rule change has been such a success, the league decided to change the format of their All-Star game to nothing BUT 3-on-3!
