Reigning MVP Ovechkin tops East All-Star roster
January 08, 2009 12:35 PM

NEW YORK
Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin finally got his All-Star invitation.



The reigning NHL MVP is among 15 players picked to fill out the Eastern Conference roster for the league's Jan. 25 All-Star game in Montreal.

The rebuilt Boston Bruins, who own the second-best record in the NHL behind San Jose, had three players chosen by the NHL's hockey operations department, after consultation with general managers. They'll be represented by goalie Tim Thomas, defenseman Zdeno Chara and center Marc Savard (suh-VAHRD'), who scored the winning goal in the final minute of last year's 8-7 victory by the East.

Joining Savard on the forward lines are first-time All-Stars Thomas Vanek of the Buffalo Sabres and Philadelphia's Jeff Carter. Ovechkin, Vanek and Carter entered tonight's play in a three-way tie with an NHL-leading 27 goals.
