With almost two weeks of voting remaining, Penguins star Sidney Crosby surpassed Jaromir Jagr?s record for the most votes ever received by a player in all-star game balloting on Sunday. Crosby has passed the 1,020,736-vote mark that Jagr set in 2000 while with the Penguins. Crosby?s teammate Evgeni Malkin was also poised to top the record, as of the moment Crosby passed Jagr, Malkin was within 19,000 votes of doing the same.

The Canadiens may be well represented in this year?s All-Star game, as reported by Yahoo.com on Tuesday. The threesome of Alexei Kovalev, Saku Koivu and Alex Tanguay continue to lead the Eastern Conference in the latest All-Star voting results. The 2009 All-Star game will be played on January 25 in Montreal. Voting will continue through January 2.
