The NHL is reportedly planning to change the format of the 2016 All-Star Game to create a three-on-three tournament in the hope of sparking interest following the success of the overtime rules, which now include the wide-open style of play.
Adam Gretz of CBS Sports passed along details TSN's Bob McKenzie provided during an appearance on Insider Trading. The fantasy draft that had been conducted by players will be eliminated in favor of smaller teams based on division.
A three-game tournament will pit divisions from the same conference against each other, with the East and West winners playing for the championship.
