Cale Makar

Cale Makar didn’t make the NHL’s Central Division roster for the All-Star Game, partially because of the league mandates that every team must be represented in the game, to be held in St. Louis this time around.



But you can still vote him in. The NHL’s “Last Man In” vote starts Wednesday, and the winner of the Central vote will be added. Here is all the info. you need to get those votes ready and send Cale to the Lou.

From the NHL:

David Perronย of the St. Louis Blues is among 31 players on the ballot in the 2020 NHL All-Star Last Men In presented by adidas fan vote for the 2020 Honda NHL All-Star Game at Enterprise Center in St. Louis on Jan. 25.

Perron, who has 40 points (16 goals, 24 assists) in 40 games this season, including four overtime goals, is looking to make his first All-Star Game appearance and join Blues teammates, goalieย Jordan Binnington, defensemanย Alex Pietrangeloย and forwardย Ryan O’Reillyย on the Central Division roster for the game which will take place at their home rink.

The player with the most votes from each of the four divisions will be added to the All-Star Game rosters that were announced Monday. Voting for the Last Men In opens Wednesday, Jan. 1, at 12 p.m. ET and closes Friday, Jan. 10, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Fans can vote at NHL.com/Vote or on a mobile interactive ballot on the NHL app.

Each of the 31 NHL teams is represented with one player on the ballot.

Fans will be permitted to select as few as one player and a maximum of four players per ballot.

No fan will be permitted to cast more than 10 ballots during a 24-hour period.

Also on the ballot are three-time Stanley Cup winnersย Kris Letangย of the Pittsburgh Penguins andย Jonathan Toewsย of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Toews (28 points, nine goals, 19 assists), who has appeared in the All-Star Game five times, is a Last Men In candidate for the second straight season;ย Gabriel Landeskogย of the Colorado Avalanche was the Central Division winner last season.
