NEW YORK, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara and Ottawa Senators forward Daniel Alfredsson Wednesday were named team captains for the 2012 NHL All-Star Game.

Under the league's 2-year-old all-star format, the pair choose up their teams in a Jan. 26 draft, three days before the contest at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, Ontario.

Chara is captain of the Bruins, while Alfredsson holds the same post with the Senators.
