(SportsNetwork.com) - It comes a few years later than expected but Columbus is finally getting its chance to shine as the host of the NHL All-Star Game. Sundays exhibition at Nationwide Arena marks the leagues 60th mid-season showcase and the first since Ottawa hosted No. 59 back on Jan. 29, 2012. The Blue Jackets originally were slated to host All-Star weekend in 2013 but the event was scrapped thanks to the lockout-shortened season.

Our group is really proud to put it on and we hope everyone really enjoys themselves. Thats the whole idea here. Todays clash pits Team Toews against Team Foligno, a pair of squads picked at the All-Star Fantasy draft on Friday evening. Team Foligno will serve as the de facto fan favorites, as the club is not only captained by Blue Jackets forward Nick Foligno, but the team also made Columbus star Ryan Johansen the first overall pick on Friday. Sergei Bobrovsky would have likely have been plucked up by Team Foligno as well, but the Blue Jackets franchise goaltender had to pull out of All-Star weekend due to a groin injury. The second overall pick, for Team Toews, went to Toronto Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel, but Kessel was later dealt to Team Foligno in exchange for winger Tyler Seguin. It was really fun. I was nervous going into it, but I had a great time with it, Foligno said of the All-Star fantasy draft. The guys made it really easy. The personalities really came out. It was a lot of fun.
