Here’s a full list of the 2018 NHL All-Star Game rosters
The 2018 NHL All-Star Game will be happening the final weekend of January. Tampa will get a chance to show the rest of the world its unique charm. Hockey in warm weather seems like a weird thing, but thanks to the Lightning, it’s the norm in Florida.
On Wednesday, the NHL released the full rosters. The reigning three-on-three tournament champion Metropolitan Division will be captained by Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals. Meanwhile, Steven Stamkos of the Lightning will lead the Atlantic Division, P.K. Subban of the Nashville Predators will take charge of the Central Division, and Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid will take the lead for the Pacific Division.
Each division will consist of six forwards, three defensemen, and two goaltenders. Players will be suspended for one game if they don’t attend. Here’s a full list of the rosters.
