<p>The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=549094">2011 NHL All-Stars have been announced</a>, and two <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.anaheimcalling.com/">Anaheim Ducks</a> have made the cut. Anaheim goalie <span>Jonas Hiller</span> and forward <span>Corey Perry</span> are among the 36 All-Stars named to the player roster for All-Star weekend, to be held in Raleigh, N.C. on Jan. 29-30. Center <span>Anze Kopitar</span> was also selected as an All-Star, the only player from the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jewelsfromthecrown.com/">Los Angeles Kings</a> so chosen. They are joined by <span>Sidney Crosby</span>, <span>Evgeni Malkin</span>, <span>Kris Letang</span>, <span>Marc-Andre Fleury</span>, <span>Jonathan Toews</span> and <span>Duncan Keith</span>, who were the top six in fan voting.</p>
<p>This year's NHL All-Star Game will be unique, in that two captains will be chosen by the players, and they in turn will draft the two teams from the 42 All-Stars in total. Each team will have three goaltenders, six defensemen, and 12 forwards. In addition, there will be a Super Skills Competition on Saturday, Jan. 29, featuring the 42 All-Stars and 12 rookies. Defenseman <span>Cam Fowler</span> of the Ducks is among the rookies chosen to compete.</p>
<p>This is the second All-Star game for Kopitar, who was also honored in 2008. Kopitar has 15 goals this season and leads the Kings with 45 points. Like Kopitar, Perry was an All-Star in 2008 as well. Perry leads the Ducks with 21 goals and 45 points this season. This is the first All-Star nod for Hiller, who has four shutouts this season, including each of his last two games.</p>
