Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne (35) defends against a Winnipeg Jets shot during the second period at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2017.

Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne will join teammate P.K. Subban and coach Peter Laviolette at the NHL All-Star Game later this month. 

Rinne was part of the 11-man Central Division roster unveiled by the league Wednesday. It will be his second All-Star appearance; Rinne participated in the 2016 event in Nashville, but a knee injury prevented him from playing in 2015. 

Rinne is second among Central Division goaltenders in wins (21) behind fellow All-Star Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets. His .934 even-strength save percentage is third-best among 28 NHL goaltenders with at least 25 starts this season. 

Subban will captain the team after receiving the most fan votes in the division.

Other members include Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane, Jets captain Blake Wheeler, Minnesota Wild forward Eric Staal, Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon, St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn, Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin, Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo and Stars defenseman John Klingberg. 

The two-day event will be held Jan. 27-28 in Tampa, Fla.
