McDavid, Kucherov headline first-team All-Stars

Published: 

Connor McDavid and Nikita Kucherov are once again first-team All-Stars as the NHL unveiled their first and second teams Friday afternoon.

McDavid, the Ted Lindsay winner, and Kucherov, the Hart Trophy winner, are joined by Jason Robertson, Cale Makar, Zach Werenski and Andrei Vasilevskiy on the first team.

Werenski won the Norris Trophy as the league’s best defenceman last week and Vasilevskiy took home the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie.

The first-team nod is McDavid’s sixth and Kucherov’s fifth. All six players had previously been named to the first-team at least once in their career.

Cole Caufield, Nathan MacKinnon, David Pastrnak, Rasmus Dahlin, Evan Bouchard and Logan Thompson make up the league’s second team. Caufield, Bouchard, Dahlin and Thompson were all named to the NHL’s end of season All-Star team for the first time.

The NHL unveiled its All-Rookie team earlier on Friday.
