NBC Sports presents seven consecutive days of hockey this week, culminating with live coverage of the 3-on-3 2017 Honda NHL ALL-STAR GAME from Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif., this Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

Coverage of 2017 NHL All-Star Weekend begins Friday at 9 p.m. ET on NBCSN with The NHL 100, as the league reveals THE 100 greatest NHL players of all-time to coincide with its Centennial celebration.

The 2017 NHL ALL-STAR GAME will feature the high-octane 3-on-3 format for the second consecutive season, pitting the four divisions (Metropolitan, Atlantic, Central, and Pacific) against each other in a tournament format. Last year's game in NASHVILLE was the most-watched All-Star Game in NBCSN's history, and Sunday's game marks the first time the game will be shown on network television since 2004.

Four-time Emmy Award-winner Mike 'Doc' Emrick (play-by-play), U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame member Eddie Olczyk (analyst), Emmy Award-winner Pierre McGuire ('Inside-the-Glass analyst), and former Los Angeles King and 500-goal scorer Jeremy Roenick will call the All-Star Game on Sunday.
