The Atlantic Division will enter 2023 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend with the hopes of winning the 3-on-3 tournament final for the first time. They have previously appeared in three such finals (2016, 2018 & 2020).
* The host Panthers will have two representatives - captain Aleksander Barkov, making his second career NHL All-Star Game appearance, and Matthew Tkachuk, who will be joined by brother and Senators forward Brady Tkachuk. They are set to become the 11th set of brothers to play on the same All-Star team and first since Daniel and Henrik Sedin skated with Team Alfredsson in 2012.
* The Bruins, who became the fastest club in NHL history to reach 80 standings points in a single season, will be represented by David Pastrnak and Linus Ullmark as well as their head coach Jim Montgomery, who will be at the helm of the Atlantic Division bench. Pastrnak (38 in 50 GP), who sits second in the League's Maurice "Rocket "Richard Trophy race, has collected the most goals by a Bruins player before the All-Star/Olympic break since Phil Esposito in 1974-75 (43 in 45 GP).
* Tage Thompson, who holds the most goals by a Sabres player prior to the All-Star/Olympic Break since Alexander Mogilny (50 in 1992-93), is one of three Arizona-born skaters set to appear in South Florida (also Matthew & Brady Tkachuk) - the most among all 11 states represented at this season's event.
* Andrei Vasilevskiy returns to backstop the Atlantic Division once again. The 2023 NHL All-Star Game will be the two-time Stanley Cup champion's fifth year at the event, tying Braden Holtby (5 GP w/ MET) for the most among all goaltenders under the 3-on-3 format. Vasilevskiy also looks to become the fifth goaltender with multiple wins in that scenario.
