All-Star Game Selections
The National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Twenty-three All-Star Games have been held since the Devils arrived in New Jersey, with at least one player representing the Devils in each year. In total, 17 players have been selected to represent the Devils during the competition. The All-Star game has not been held in various years: 1995 and 2005 as a result of labor stoppages, 2006 and 2010 because of the Winter Olympics, and 1987 due to the Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the Soviet national team.
The Devils hosted the 1984 All-Star Game at the Meadowlands Arena. The Wales Conference defeated the Campbell Conference 7–6; Devils goaltender Glenn Resch got the win for the Wales, while defenseman Joe Cirella added a goal and an assist. Scott Stevens was named to 11 All-Star games, and played in ten, both team records. Devils coaches Jacques Lemaire, Robbie Ftorek, and Larry Robinson have all served as coaches for All-Star teams.
During All-Star Weekend, the NHL also holds a YoungStars Game for first- and second-year players. The Devils have sent three players: Paul Martin, Zach Parise, and David Clarkson. Two others, Adam Henrique and Adam Larsson, were selected in 2012 but did not attend due to injuries. Parise was the MVP of the 2007 game, after scoring two goals and four assists. Defenseman Scott Niedermayer has also won the Fastest Skater event during the SuperSkills Competition twice, in 1998 and 2004.
