The NHL finally unveiled the rest of the 2015 All-Stars. The first six voted in consisted of five Blackhawks- Corey Crawford, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and Jonathan Toews- plus Sabres’ forward Zemgus Girgensons.

Among the locals, three players will head to Columbus Jan. 25. Rick Nash headlines the list along with John Tavares and old hat Patrik Elias. Nash will return to Nationwide Arena where he starred for the Blue Jackets. He ranks second in goals with 25. Nash leads the Rangers in goals (25), points (40), shorthanded goals (3) and game-winners (4). Tavares will represent the Islanders pacing them with 19 goals, 39 points, 16 power play points (7-9-16) and four game-winners. Elias will be the lone Devils representative. The all-time franchise scoring leader recently hit a milestone with a goal and two assists making him the first Devil to reach 1,000 points. He also went over 600 assists. Elias is one goal shy of 400.

For the host Blue Jackets, they’ll be represented by three players including former Vezina winner Sergei Bobrovsky, recently re-signed leading scorer Nick Foligno and Ryan Johansen. In a down year, Bobrovsky gets the nod over Marc-Andre Fleury and Jaroslav Halak. Home cooking has its benefits. The other three goalies representing the East are Jimmy Howard, Roberto Luongo and Carey Price. Of course, that doesn’t matter since it’ll be a Fantasy Draft format on Jan. 23 at 5 EST on NBCSN. That’s always fun. Who’ll have the honor of getting picked last? Phil Kessel is the only Leaf in case you’re wondering.

Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin were tabbed from the Penguins while Alex Ovechkin will represent the Capitals over Nicklas Backstrom. I would’ve taken Backstrom. But it’s an All-Star Game and that is perfect for a showstopper like Ovechkin. Claude Giroux and NHL leading scorer Jakub Voracek are the Flyer representatives. Justin Faulk will be the lone Hurricane.

The Bruins are represented by Patrice Bergeron, who beat out Dougie Hamilton. Girgensons is the only Sabre due to the overwhelming votes from Latvia. Kessel will be in his third repping the Leafs. The Sens are sending Bobby Ryan, who goes over Erik Karlsson. Rookie forward Mike Hoffmann will take part in the Skills Competition. Price is the only Canadien which is insanity since it omits Max Pacioretty and P.K. Subban. The Lightning will have Steven Stamkos and Tyler Johnson both deserving participants with Johnson my MVP dark horse. Nikita Kucherov was snubbed. The Red Wings are only represented by Howard. Luongo also got selected from the Panthers giving the East four of six goalies. Given how well he’s performed, Lou is a Vezina and Hart candidate at the halfway point. Calder candidate Aaron Ekblad will take part in the Skills Competition. Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin will also be included.

With five Blackhawks (Crawford, Kane, Keith, Seabrook, Toews) representing the West, the Blues and Predators each have two players going. For St. Louis, leading sniper Vladimir Tarasenko and offensive defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk will make their All-Star debuts. Nashville will be represented by vets Pekka Rinne and Shea Weber. Rookie Filip Forsberg will be part of the Super Skills. Both are factors in the Vezina and Norris races. Dustin Byfuglien will represent Winnipeg. Colorado sends top defenseman Erik Johnson, who leads all blueliners with 12 goals. League-leading goalscorer Tyler Seguin (26 goals) is the lone Star while Ryan Suter will represent the disappointing Wild.

Ryan Getzlaf will be the Ducks representative. The Anaheim captain has carried his team to the best record and is among the top five in scoring with 45 points (13-32-45) making him a Hart candidate. The Kings will be represented by all world defenseman Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar, who probably doesn’t deserve it over Joe Pavelski or Logan Couture. Leave that for Sharks fans to debate with their nemesis. Tanner Pearson will participate in the Skills Competition. San Jose’s lone representative is rover Brent Burns, whose 34 points are third among defensemen. The Canucks are sending Radim Vrbata, who paces them with 16 goals while teaming with The Sedins. Personally, I would’ve liked to see the Sedins and Jaromir Jagr. But also no Henrik Zetterberg or Pavel Datsyuk.

Rounding out the All-Stars are Calgary defenseman Mark Giordano, rookie Johnny Gaudreau (Super Skills), Arizona defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
