An interesting little tidbit about the All Star Game was revealed this morning:
All Star notes:
-Sounds like Brayden Point will replace Victor Hedman on Atlantic Team.
-Jon Quick is going to pass on the weekend. Replacement will be Mike Smith.
-Even if suspended, Marchand is expected to be in Tampa.— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) January 24, 2018An injured defenseman is being replaced by a forward and Jonathan Quick has decided to opt out of this weekend's festivities. There have been no indications that he was injured in the team's blowout loss to the Vancouver Canucks last night.
