Expanded Fan Vote for 2023 NHL All-Star Weekend now open

Tage Thompson has been named to the 2023 NHL All-Star Game roster and now it's up to hockey fans around the world to decide who will join him on the Atlantic Division squad.
Thursday night, the NHL announced the initial rosters for All-Star Weekend with a player representing each team. Fans will select the final 12 players - two skaters and a goaltender for each division - at NHL.com/Vote.
Which Sabres players are going to get your vote? Rasmus Dahlin? Alex Tuch? Jeff Skinner? Dylan Cozens? There are plenty of Sabres who are having career years and are worthy of representing the Sabres in Florida.

Those four players - plus Thompson - all have at least 35 points, which is tied with Ottawa for the most 35-point players in the NHL heading into play Thursday.
Voting is open now through January 17 at midnight.
For the first time, the fan vote will feature a Twitter Vote, which begins January 12 at 12:01 a.m. ET and ends January 14 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Each fan tweet in that time period must include the complete hashtag "#NHLAllStarVote" followed by a player's full name or a player's Twitter handle. Only referencing a last name will not count. All Twitter votes will be combined with online vote totals.
The three remaining players per team will be announced January 19.
The coach whose team has the best points percentage in each division through games of January 11 -- when the NHL hits the official midpoint of the season -- will be the respective All-Star head coaches.
The 2023 NHL All-Stars Skills will take place February 3 at 7 p.m. and the All-Star Game will begin at 3 p.m. on February 4 at FLA LIVE Arena in Sunrise, Florida.
The All-Star Game will feature a three-game tournament, played in a 3-on-3 format and showcasing teams from each NHL division. Each of the four teams will include nine skaters and two goalies.
