Fans vote for Connor McDavid to wear the C for Pacific Division at NHL All-Star weekend

The Edmonton Oilers’ Connor McDavid will once again serve as captain of the Pacific Division at the National Hockey League’s All-Star weekend in Florida later this month.

The 20-year-old superstar, who also serves as captain of the Oilers, will be attending his second-ever NHL All-Star weekend. At last year’s three-on-three tournament in Los Angeles, McDavid scored a goal in the Pacific Division’s 4-3 loss to the Metropolitan Division in the tournament’s final game.

McDavid, who won the NHL’s scoring race last year, along with both of the league’s MVP awards, is currently ninth in points among NHL players with 14 goals and 45 points in 40 games with the Oilers this season.
