After a one-season stint in the Continental Hockey League (KHL), the American defender has initialed a one-season deal with CH this summer. In 22 matches, he scored two goals and collected nine points, which is good for progressing between two Habs defenders, and tied with David Savard.

Nick Suzuki would have been a logical choice for the Canadian, as he scored 19 points in 34 games. Although no player on Dominique Ducharme’s squad deserves this distinction, the NHL ensures that there is at least one representative from each team in the All-Star Game.

Alexander Ovechkin (Metropolitan), Nathan McKinnon (C), Conor McDavid (Pacific) and Matthews (Atlantic) were appointed captains in their departments on the basis of a public vote.

The NHL will announce the names of the 44 players who will participate in the All-Star Game next Thursday.
