NEW YORK — Canadian rapper Drake headlines the list of performers for this weekend's NHL all-star game.

The two-time Juno Award winner from Toronto will perform during the second intermission of Sunday's game at Scotiabank Place.

Drake joins an entertainment lineup that includes singer and rapper Outasight and Javier Colon, the winner of the inaugural season of "The Voice."

Colon will sing the U.S. national anthem, while longtime Ottawa Senators anthem singer Lyndon Slewidge will sing "O Canada."

Drake is currently up for three 2012 Grammy Awards. He released his second studio album "Take Care" in November and it debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart at No. 1.

All of those interviews tonight were mad awkward
laugh.gif
 Everybody said the same thing..."I don't know when I'll be drafted, I'm just happy to be here"
I was surprised that Chara took Datsyuk first, it was clear he was trying to get the best team and not just take his buddies, which was cool to see
 
when he was in the draft room and the camera panned over to him... dude just buried his chin into his chest and tried not to look into the camera

It's not a showboat character driven sport, that's why Ovechkin sticks out so much

I hear what you are saying though the sport needs players that are a lot more outgoing and smooth with the media.
