This evening is the Royal Rumble. But that's at 8 PM EST. The second most important event tonight is the 2015 NHL All-Star Game.
The Time: 5:00 PM EST
The Broadcast: TV - NBCSN, CBC
The Matchup: Team Toews (featuring Patrik Elias) vs. Team Foligno (which features no member of the New Jersey Devils)
The Preview: I guess this one by Corey Masisak at NHL.com would do. As for where Elias will be playing:

The Song for Tonight: It wouldn't be fair to Flair or to you if I didn't link the original Royal Rumble Theme here.
The Gameday Info: Typically, more deals tend to get made after the All-Star Game as the NHL Trade Deadline is coming ever closer. Did Lou leave any hints? Nope. Did he provide a new quote that some fans will run into the ground? Yep. Per Tom Gulitti at Fire & Ice: "What's in my mind is in my mind."
Did Elias Score in the Shootout in the Skills Competition?: No.
The Rules: Rules as usual. Please use the comments in this post to talk about anything about the 2015 All-Star Game and/or Patrik Elias. Go...Toews? Go Elias? Well, whatever it is, there it is.
