The National Hockey League announced their selection for the 2017 All-Star Game, and among them are Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price and defenceman Shea Weber.
Carey Price was selected captain of the Atlantic Division based on a fan vote which concluded recently, and this will be his fifth All-Star Game selection, tying Ken Dryden, Guy Lafleur, and Yvan Cournoyer for All-Star Game appearances since the Expansion Era (post-1969). Price also appeared in the 2009, 2011, 2012, and 2015 editions of the annual showcase. Only Patrick Roy (six) and Larry Robinson (nine) have had more All-Star Game appearances in the Modern Era as members of the Montreal Canadiens.
