NHL All-Star Draft 2015: TV schedule, live stream and results
Brent Burns is the Sharks' lone representative at the All-Star Game in Columbus. He'll be among the players selected in tonight's pre-game draft.
Unless a dozen other players pull out with mysterious, last-minute injuries over the next hour, the NHL's 2015 All-Star festivities will kick off this evening in Columbus with the third ever All-Star Fantasy Draft. Captains Nick Foligno and Jonathan Toews will alternately pick from a roster that includes Sharks defenseman Brent Burns in order to build teams that will compete in tomorrow's skills competition and Sunday's game at Nationwide Arena.

Draft format
- A "puck flip" will determine whether Foligno or Toews gets to make the first overall selection
- Each team must end up with three goalies, six defensemen and at least eleven forwards (with Sidney Crosby bowing out last night, the league has opted not to replace him, meaning one team will end up with eleven forwards while the other will have twelve)
- All goalies must be picked by the end of Round 10 and all defensemen must be picked by the end of Round 15
- Rookies Jonathan Drouin, Johnny Gaudreau, Mike Hoffman and Jiri Sekac will be split into two groups. At the end of Round 11, another puck flip will determine which team gets to select their pair of rookies first
