The Columbus Blue Jackets and Nationwide Arena have been selected to host the 2013 NHL All-Star Game, the Blue Jackets announced Saturday.

"We're looking forward to bringing our All-Star celebration to Columbus," said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. "The Blue Jackets did a great job of hosting the NHL Draft in 2007, and I have no doubt they will raise the bar even higher when they welcome our All-Star celebration at Nationwide Arena next January."

The game and associated events will take place on January 26, 2013 and January 27, 2013.

This is the first time that the NHL All-Star game has come to Columbus.
