NHL names All-Star game captains

The fans have spoken.

After a month-long vote, hockey fanatics have called on Connor McDavid, P.K. Subban, Sidney Crosby, and Carey Price to captain the four divisional squads at the NHL All-Star game.

The game takes place Jan. 29 at Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Kings.

The All-Star game will be played in the 3-on-3 format, as introduced last season, made up of three games. The two divisions of each conference will face off in a semifinal before the winner of each moves on to the final round.

Each All-Star squad will include six forwards, three defensemen, and two goaltenders.

Full rosters will be announced at a later date.

The All-Star festivities kick off on Jan. 28 with the skills competition. The events include: the hardest shot, fastest skater, breakaway challenge, skills challenge relay, accuracy shooting, and the elimination shootout.
