The Penguins, hockey and more, by the PG's Seth Rorabaugh. |

With Washington captain Alex Ovechkin bowing out of the all-star game, James Neal joins a somewhat exclusive group of former Penguins.
Neal is the ninth Penguins player to be selected for an all-star game in his first full season with the franchise:
| Player, Position | Season |
| James Neal, LW | 2011-12 |
| Kevin Hatcher, D | 1996-97 |
| Rick Tocchet, RW | 1992-93 |
| Paul Coffey, D | 1988-87 |
| Mario Lemieux, C | 1984-85 |
| Michel Dion, G | 1981-82 |
| Greg Polis, LW | 1970-71 |
| Dean Prentice, LW | 1969-70 |
| Ken Schinkel, RW | 1967-68 |
Note: There was no All-Star game during Sidney Crosby's rookie season of 2005-06 due to the Olympics.
