The 2015 National Hockey League All-Star Game was an exhibition ice hockey game played on January 25, 2015. The game was held in Columbus, Ohio, for the first time, at Nationwide Arena, home of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The team captains were chosen by NHL Hockey Operations: Nick Foligno of the All-Star Game-hosting Blue Jackets served as captain for the home team, and Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks served for the away team. Team Toews won the game 17–12, as the teams and players broke a variety of All-Star Game scoring records.
Columbus was originally scheduled to host the All-Star Game on January 27, 2013.[1] However, the game was postponed for two years, first because of the 2012–13 NHL lockout[2] and then due to the league's participation in the 2014 Winter Olympics tournament.[3][4]
