The New York Islanders will host All-Star Weekend in 2026, the NHL announced Sunday.

The news was announced during the first intermission of the Islanders' 6-5 overime loss in their Stadium Series game against the New York Rangers at MetLife Stadium. It was second game of the Series, after the New Jersey Devils defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 6-3 on Saturday night.

Playing in his home arena, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews stole the show during Saturday's NHL All-Star Game tournament, authoring an MVP performance and capping off a revamped weekend of festivities at the league's annual showcase.

Team Matthews eliminated Team McDavid with a 7-4 victory in the 3-on-3 finale, sending the fans, many donning Matthews jerseys, home happy from Scotiabank Arena

Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid won the $1 million NHL All-Star skills competition Friday night, an event he helped the league redesign this season.

McDavid helped the NHL revamp the skills competition with a back-to-basics approach. The field of players was limited to 12 stars in an effort to build more competition for a $1 million prize. The NHL also jettisoned its pretaped events and judged trick-shot competition in an effort to reorient it back to pure hockey skill.

Tampa Bay Lightning star Nikita Kucherov went No. 1 overall when the NHL staged its first player draft in nearly a decade Thursday night to kick off All-Star Weekend.

The league convened four teams -- made up of one captain, co-captain and celebrity captain -- to select from the remaining pool of 44 selected All-Star players that will make up groupings for Saturday's three-on-three All-Star Game.
