ARLINGTON, Va. – Defenseman Mike Green and left wings Alex Ovechkin and Alexander Semin will represent the Washington Capitals on the NHL’s All-Star ballot, with voting running from Nov. 12 to Jan. 2. Fans will have the opportunity to vote for the Eastern and Western Conference starters for the 2009 NHL All-Star Game, which will be hosted in Montreal on Jan. 25.

Ovechkin, 23, is making his third consecutive appearance on the NHL All-Star ballot. A native of Moscow, Russia, he became the first player in history to win the Hart Trophy (most valuable player), the Lester B. Pearson Award (outstanding player as voted by his peers), the Art Ross Trophy (most points) and the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy (most goals) in 2008. Ovechkin scored two goals in the All-Star Game last season, becoming the first Caps player to score two goals in an All-Star Game.

For the first time and a first in professional sports, the NHL will provide real-time All-Star fan balloting results at Vote.NHL.com/results.
