The 2020 NHL All-Star Game marks the fifth time in the event's history in which the format is a three-on-three tournament with four divisional squads.
The Pacific and Metropolitan Divisions have alternated victories in the competition, with the Metropolitan coming out on top in 2019.
The Atlantic and Central Division teams have reached the final round of the bracketed tournament, but neither has earned titles.
Since the Metropolitan side is without Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby, the Atlantic squad could have a favorable path to the final from the semifinal between Eastern Conference divisions.
