The National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Forty-one All-Star Games have been held since the Sabres entered the league in 1970, with at least one player chosen to represent the Sabres in each year except 2004 and 2011. The All-Star game has not been held in various years: 1979 and 1987 due to the 1979 Challenge Cup and Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the Soviet national team, respectively, 1995, 2005, and 2013 as a result of labor stoppages, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2026 because of the Winter Olympic Games, 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2025 when it was replaced by the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off.^[26] Buffalo has hosted one of the games. The 31st took place at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium.
