The NHL is borrowing a page from the NBA’s All-Star weekend format.  This year’s YoungStars game will be the first to feature a rookies Vs. sophomores format.

The lineups were released today, and they feature more than a couple players worthy of actual All-Star selections.  Steve Mason will get the call in goal for the rookie team.  The Columbus Blue Jackets’ goaltender is leading the NHL in both Goals Against Average, and Save Percentage.

Milan Lucic was named to the sophomore squad and he’ll be joined by Niklas Backstrom of the Washington Capitals, and Bryan Little of the Atlanta Thrashers.  You can view the complete rosters at tsn.ca .
