The NHL's All-Star teams will be selected by Eric Staal and Nicklas Lidstrom.

They have been appointed captains for the Jan. 30 game in Raleigh, N.C., and will lead teams carrying their names. Staal plays for the hometown Carolina Hurricanes. Lidstrom is the captain of the Detroit Red Wings.

The All-Stars were determined in a fan vote, and the players selected voted on the captains. The game features a revamped format this year. Staal and Lidstrom will select their teams in a live draft two days before the game.

The alternate captains are still to be determined. They will provide input during the draft.
