Dylan Larkin can add "three-time NHL All-Star" to his résumé.
The Detroit Red Wings captain was among the selections announced Thursday evening, when initial rosters for next month's event were revealed. Under a new format, the NHL department of hockey operations selected one player from each NHL team in each division, making up the initial eight-man rosters for each division.
The All-Star Game and NHL All-Star Skills event runs Feb. 3-4 at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, home to the Florida Panthers. There will be four teams, representing each division, each consisting of nine skaters and two goaltenders, and the format is three-on-three.
