2007 NHL All-Star Starters

Sidney Crosby, Penguins

Sid The Kid is the youngest player (19 years, 5 months) to be chosen to start by fan vote. He's also the NHL's scoring leader. Small wonder he received a league-best 825,783 votes.

Alexander Ovechkin, Capitals

The electrifying 2005-06 Calder Trophy-winner leads the NHL in goals and ranks second behind Sidney Crosby in the scoring race.

Daniel Briere, Sabres

The Sabres' feisty scoring leader and co-captain is making the first All-Star appearance of his eight-year career.

Brian Campbell, Sabres

The quarterback of Buffalo's mobile defense is a first-time All-Star.

Sheldon Souray, Canadiens

The only Eastern starter who has previously been an All-Star, Souray is one of the league's most potent blueline scoring threats.

Ryan Miller, Sabres

The second-year netminder ranks fifth in wins for the conference pacesetters, who are the first team since 1986 to boast three All-Star starters.

Joe Sakic, Avalanche

The Avs' respected captain is making the fourth start of his storied 18-year career.

Joe Thornton, Sharks

Jumbo Joe, the reigning NHL MVP, ranks second in the league in assists. He'll start for the second consecutive year while making the fourth All-Star appearance of his career.

Jonathan Cheechoo, Sharks

Coming off a 56-goal season, the 2004 Young Stars Game alum will make his All-Star debut.

Nicklas Lidstrom, Red Wings

The four-time Norris Trophy-winner and bulwark of Detroit's blueline has earned his seventh consecutive start.

Scott Niedermayer, Ducks

The fleet-footed backliner shares the NHL scoring lead among defensemen with teammate Chris Pronger. Niedermayer, three times an All-Star as a Devil, will make his first appearance as a Duck.

Roberto Luongo, Canucks

After enduring five often tough seasons in Florida, Luongo is thriving in Vancouver and will make his first All-Star start.
