The Florida Panthers hold a full team practice at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Jan. 3. There was little surprise to the Florida Panthers player selected to represent the team at the 2024 NHL All-Star Game. Sam Reinhart is having a pretty ridiculous season. The 28-year-old former second overall pick has been lighting the lamp like never before, and he’s doing it in a contract year. Through 37 games this season with the Panthers, Reinhart has scored 24 goals. That ties him for third-most in the NHL with Vancouver’s Brock Boeser. Reinhart also leads the league in power play goals with 11.

Taking all this into account, Reinhart’s first All-Star selection has seemed inevitable for a while now. Thursday night, the NHL made it official, announcing Reinhart as Florida’s man at the All-Star Game. One player per team was named on Thursday. The remaining 12 All-Stars will be selected by a fan vote. This year, NHL All-Star Weekend and all the surrounding festivities are being held in Toronto. The game itself is on Saturday, Feb. 3 at Scotiabank Arena.
