San Jose will host the 2019 NHL All-Star game.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced the news before Saturday night's 2018 All-Star game skills competition.

San Jose last hosted the All-Star game in 1997.

Bettman also announced plans for next season's international games.

  • Work is continuing to finalize two mid-September pre-season games in China.
  • In late September, New Jersey (Switzerland) and Edmonton (Germany) will play a preseason against a local team. The Devils and Oilers will then face each other in a regular-season opener in Sweden.
  • Winnipeg and Florida will travel to Finland in early November for two regular-season games.
