Last Day Before All-Star Break Odds and Ends

Just one day before heading into the All-Star break the All-Star game replacements have been announced, a certain scoring legend turns 50, and oh yeah, there are 18 teams in action tonight.  

All-Star Replacements:

The remaining of the All-Star replacements have been named.  They will take part in the draft on Friday, the Super Skills Competition Saturday, and the actual game on Sunday. 


The Replacements for the game are as follows:
-Paul Stastny (replacing Sidney Crosby)
-Jeff Skinner (replacing Evgeni Malkin)
-Keith Yandle (replacing Tobias Enstrom)
-Martin Havlat (replacing Ales Hemsky)
-Danny Briere (replacing Jarome Iginla)

The Replacements for the Super Skills Competition are as follows:
-P.K. Subban (replacing Jordan Eberle)
-Jamie McBain (replacing Jeff Skinner)

To avoid confusion, Skinner was originally selected to take part in the skills competition because he was a rookie, but after some consideration he was chosen to replace Malkin in the actual game.
