Pettersson has been Vancouver’s best all-rounder this season, although there has been some speculation that Bo Horvat, who is in the midst of a notable goalscoring campaign, could concede to Pettersson.
This year’s event will be hosted by the Florida Panthers on February 3rd and 4th.

A dozen additional players will be selected as All-Stars, three for each division team, based on an online fan vote ending Jan. 17.
A Twitter vote will also be held as part of the January 12-14 process.
