Linus Ullmark, Elias Pettersson and Erik Karlsson are all star-ready so far.

They are among the 32 selected by the NHL organization - one player from each NHL team.

The additional twelve to be selected – two outfield players and a goalkeeper from each division – will be voted on this year.

In previous years, the NHL fans have appointed team captains, then the league has appointed all but the last player who has also been voted on by the fans.

Voting closes on January 17 and the remaining players will be announced on January 19.

The all-star game will be played on February 4 in Sunrise, Florida.
