Hey Now, You're An All-Star

On Jan. 10, Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov was named to the Atlantic Division's All-Star team.
Barkov ranks second on the Panthers with 40 points on 14 goals and 26 assists. His 22:29 of ice time per game -- up more than three minutes from last season -- are also the most among any NHL forward so far this season, as he averages ample time on both the power play (3:21) and penalty kill (1:56).
It is the first time Barkov will skate in NHL All-Star festivities, and he could not be more excited.
"It feels great," said Barkov. "I'm happy to be there. I'm happy to be invited to such a great happening. I feel really, really proud. I think it's going to be nice. It's my first time [as an All-Star], but I've been watching it every year on the TV, especially when I came here."
The NHL All-Star Weekend will be held Jan. 27-28 at Amalie Arena, home of the Tampa Bay Lightning, beginning with the NHL All-Star Skills Competition on Saturday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. ET and concluding with the NHL All-Star Game on Sunday, Jan. 28 at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Stay tuned to FloridaPanthers.com for the latest All-Star game info and exclusive behind-the-scenes content of Barkov at the All-Star game!
