The full rosters for this year’s NHL All-Star Weekend are beginning to trickle out, and the Caps will once again have two representatives on the Metro squad, with John Carlson and Braden Holtby earning spots:
This will be the second consecutive year in which Carlson and Holtby will attend the game together; Carlson made his All-Star debut last year (and killed it), while Holtby will be making his fifth-straight appearance, tying him with Rod Langway and Peter Bondra for the second-most selections in franchise history.
They will also once again be without their captain – and the Metro team captain – as Alex Ovechkin was voted in but will sit out the game.
