In the 2023 NHL All-Star Game, Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs will be replaced by Florida Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov on the Atlantic Division team.
Aleksander Barkov has 13 goals and 30 assists this season for the Panthers. It is his second All-Star selection, previously having played in the All-Star Game in 2018. He will join his teammate Matthew Tkachuk, the current leader in points for the Panthers with 62 points, having scored 25 goals with 37 assists. The Panthers duo will look to show off their threat on the ice at the All-Star Game.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews, who has 53 points this season from 25 goals and 29 assists, sustained a knee sprain in a 3-2 OT win against the New York Rangers on Wednesday. Matthews will be on the sidelines for at least three weeks and will not play in the All-Star Game.
