San Jose Sharks center Tomas Hertl, who recently sparked interest from teams such as the NHL Bruins, confirmed his participation in the NHL All-Star game and expressed his desire not to be the last pick in the draft. As the Sharks' lone representative, Hertl picked a defenseman to win the skills competition and was selected to join Team McDavid, with whom he had shown chemistry in 2020. In the 3-on-3 semifinal, Team McDavid, featuring Hertl, came back from a 3-1 deficit in the last 31.5 seconds to win 4-3 in the shootout against Team MacKinnon. Hertl scored once, assisted on Boone Jenner's goal, and was a key player throughout the event, although his team eventually lost in the championship.
