After five days, the NHL All-Star Game vote has yet to see any sort of John Scott candidate break through among the divisional leaders. While there have been calls for chaotic votes (Steve Ott) and sentimental ones (Bryan Bickell), there’s nothing out of the ordinary with the first batch of results.

The NHL released the top five vote-getters for each division on Tuesday, and there’s very little to be surprised about.
