The NHL is pushing ahead with the All-Star Game scheduled for Saturday, February 5th in Las Vegas. There will be notable representation from the Colorado Avalanche as Nathan MacKinnon was named Captain of the Central Division by winning the fan vote. Cale Makar was also selected for his first career appearance and is the only defenseman representing the division.
The young stars have taken over the Central Division, with six players age 25 or younger – the most among all teams. It is also the highest-scoring division (119 combined goals).
