All-Star Rosters Finalized

With several players out of the All-Star game due to injuries or family reasons, the NHL has released the finalized, at least for now, All-Star rosters.

For the East, Marc Savard replaces Dany Heatley. Evgeni Malkin steps in for Sidney Crosby, and Tim Thomas will be between the pipes in place of Martin Brodeur.

For the West, Corey Perry replaces Paul Statsny, Mike Ribiero takes Henrik Zetterberg's spot, and Scott Neidermayer will play for Sergei Zubov.

That means that the Devils and Avalanche won't have anyone representing them in the All-Star game. With the additions, the Ducks take the lead in the West with 4 All-Stars, while Boston is tops in the East with 3 Bruins in the big game.
