Sports January 23, 2015 January 26, 2015 Wyshynski Greg Prior to the draft, seven players withdrew due to injuries. Only six of seven withdrawn players were replaced by the beginning of the All-Star weekend, leaving an uneven number of players to compete in the All-Star Game. Ultimately, it was Team Toews who had one less player after the draft. Although Sidney Crosby originally did not have a replacement named, it was later decided that skills competition rookie Johnny Gaudreau would take his spot in the game. Three withdrawn players were eventually replaced by rookies who were originally slated to only participate in the skills competitions, while four others were replaced by other NHL players assigned to the Game by the league. The day of the game, Tyler Johnson withdrew due to a lower-body injury; although already having been selected to Team Toews, a replacement was not named and the team's roster remained reduced by two players.http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=36288&navid=nhl:topheads https://web.archive.org/web/20150127222608/http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=36288&navid=nhl:topheads dead January 27, 2015 January 25, 2015 Lightning center Johnson to miss All-Star Game National Hockey League January 25, 2015 +All-Star Game Withdrawn PlayersNat.NameTeamPos.Reason and replacement CANTanner PearsonLos Angeles KingsLW Broken leg, replaced by Jiri Sekachttps://canadiens.nhl.com/club/blogpost.htm?id=35885 https://web.archive.org/web/20150925191007/http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/blogpost.htm?id=35885 dead September 25, 2015 Jiri Sekac headed to the All-Star Game January 13, 2015 January 24, 2015 National Hockey League USAJimmy HowardDetroit Red WingsG Groin injury, replaced by Marc-Andre Fleuryhttp://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=748803 https://web.archive.org/web/20150116120434/http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=748803 dead January 16, 2015 Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak chosen as injury replacement for NHL All-Star game National Hockey League January 15, 2015 January 15, 2015 FINPekka RinneNashville PredatorsG Sprained knee, replaced by Jaroslav Halak RUSSergei BobrovskyColumbus Blue JacketsG Groin injury, replaced by Brian Elliotthttp://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=36208 https://web.archive.org/web/20150123012606/http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=36208 dead January 23, 2015 Blues goalie Elliott to replace Blue Jackets' Bobrovsky National Hockey League January 22, 2015 January 22, 2015 RUSEvgeni MalkinPittsburgh PenguinsC Lower-body injury, replaced by Filip Forsberghttp://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=36191 https://web.archive.org/web/20150123025126/http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=36191 dead January 23, 2015 Predators' Forsberg added to All-Star Game roster National Hockey League January 22, 2015 January 22, 2015 CANSidney CrosbyPittsburgh PenguinsC Lower-body injury, replaced by Johnny Gaudreauhttp://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/24989666/flames-johnny-gaudreau-will-get-to-play-in-all-star-game-after-all Flames' Johnny Gaudreau will get to play in All-Star Game after all Gretz Adam CBS Sports January 24, 2015 January 26, 2015 USAErik JohnsonColorado AvalancheD Lower-body injury, replaced by Aaron Ekbladhttp://www.foxsports.com/florida/story/florida-panthers-aaron-ekblad-added-to-2015-nhl-all-star-game-012315 Panthers rookie Aaron Ekblad added to 2015 NHL All-Star Game Olive Jameson January 23, 2015 Fox Sports January 26, 2015 USATyler Johnson Tyler Johnson (ice hockey)Tampa Bay LightningC Lower-body injury, no replacementJohnson was selected to Team Toews as the 34th entry at the draft but withdrew the day of the game Uniforms For the first All-Star Game in three years, Reebok sought to do something a bit different. Instead of traditional color designs, Reebok chose to incorporate a color they referred to as "elite green" as the primary trim color of their uniforms for this game. The color had been in use on the inside collars of the Reebok Edge jersey, but this marked its first (and, to date, only) use as a visible uniform color. Following on the use of chromed logos in the 2014 NHL Stadium Series, the NHL shields on the front of the All-Star uniforms were also given a chrome treatment, with two stars added inside the NHL shield to represent the two conferences (despite the game not using a conference format).https://www.nhl.com/news/bold-jersey-designs-on-tap-for-2015-nhl-all-star-game/c-747809 https://web.archive.org/web/20160216175817/https://www.nhl.com/news/bold-jersey-designs-on-tap-for-2015-nhl-all-star-game/c-747809 dead February 16, 2016 Bold jersey designs on tap for 2015 NHL All-Star Game NHL.com Game summary Team Toews Team Foligno Nationwide Arena January 25, 2015 17–12 1 CBC, NBCSN www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=2014040060 thumb|200px|right|John Tavares (c. 2013) scored four goals for Team Toews, becoming the sixth player in NHL history to do so in an All-Star Game.|alt=John Tavares in a white away New York Islanders jersey leaning forward and holding his hockey stick thumb|200px|right|Ryan Johansen scored two goals and assisted on two others for Team Foligno en route to winning the game's online MVP vote.|alt=Ryan Johansen in a white away Columbus Blue Jackets jersey and white helmet, holding his hockey stick thumb|200px|right|Jakub Voracek had three goals and three assists for Team Toews, tying a record for most points (6) in an All-Star Game.|alt=Jakub Voracek in a white away Philadelphia Flyers jersey with a white helmet on and holding his hockey stick The game was played from 5 pm until 8 pm, local Eastern Time.
