NEW YORK -- New Jersey Devils defenseman Scott Stevens and Dallas Stars center Mike Modano will be the captains in the NHL All-Star Game on Sunday.
Stevens, who'll lead the Eastern Conference, is making his 13th appearance in the All-Star Game, the most among this year's participants. Modano will make his fifth All-Star Game appearance, the first as a starter, in Sunday's game in Sunrise, Fla. Bill Guerin will also be a starter for the Western Conference team and Stars goalie Marty Turco a reserve. "It's a tremendous honor to be named captain,'' Modano said Tuesday. "Being voted in as a starter by the fans, as well as having Bill and Marty there, makes it even more special.'' Modano is Dallas' career scoring leader with 1,033 points (436 goals and 597 assists) in 995 games. He has 56 points (20-36) this season, which is fifth in the NHL. |
