OTTAWA, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- The Columbus Blue Jackets will host the 2013 NHL All-Star Game, league officials said Saturday in Ottawa, Canada, site of this weekend's 2012 game.

"We're looking forward to bringing our All-Star celebration to Columbus," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. "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 next January."

It's the first All-Star Game for Columbus, which came into the league as an expansion franchise in 2000.

The 2013 all-star weekend, to be held Jan. 26-27, will include a skills competition as well as the game itself.
