Fan balloting for the "Last Men In" for the 2020 NHL All-Star Game is now open and runs through Jan. 10, but there's one player who'd rather not get enough votes to make the roster. "Please don't vote," Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin said Tuesday, per the Detroit Free Press. "I like the days off more."

In all, 31 players -- one from each team -- appear on the Last Men In ballot. One player from each of the four NHL divisions will be added to roster for the All-Star Game, which will be played Jan. 25 in St. Louis. Larkin, 23, represented the Red Wings in the 2016 All-Star Game in his rookie season.

"There are great players in that group," Larkin said of the names on the ballot, which is available on the NHL's website. "We have great fans, but I'm sure there are guys more deserving to go. I'm fine with that." Detroit teammate Tyler Bertuzzi was named to the team, which was announced Monday. The full rosters are:
