The players selected to the Atlantic Division roster through fan voting were Bruins right wing David Pastrnak, Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews and Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy.

This will be Pastrnak's third All-Star appearance. He also made it in 2019 and 2020. The 26-year-old forward is having the best season of his career so far. He ranks fourth in scoring with 63 points and second in goals with 35. Pastrnak is a legitimate Hart Trophy candidate and one of the primary drivers of Boston's historic success this season.
