The 2024 NHL All-Star Game player draft made its highly anticipated return on Thursday night, and it did not disappoint.

For the first time since 2015, the league's four All-Star captains and their celebrity captains drafted their teams from this year's pool of star-studded talent to compete in the All-Star Game at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena.

The four teams are captained by Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews, Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid, Colorado Avalanche veteran Nathan MacKinnon and Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes/New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes.

While the league has turned away from division-based rosters, this year's All-Star Game will remain a three-on-three format with 10-minute halves.

Team MacKinnon will take on Team McDavid in Game 1 and Team Hughes will take on Team Matthews in Game 2. The winners of the first two games will compete in a third game to determine the All-Star Game winner.

With the festivities set to kick off in Toronto this weekend, here's a look at the rosters for each of the four teams.
