One Red Star in KHL showcase

Kunlun Red Star center Chad Rau will be the Beijing expansion team's lone representative in the Jan 22 Kontinental Hockey League All-Star Game in Ufa, capital of the Russian republic of Bashkortostan.

A skills competition will be held the day before the showcase, capping a week-long All-Star celebration.

Selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the seventh round (228th overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, the Minnesota-born Rau signed as a free agent with the Minnesota Wild in 2010 and was later traded to the San Jose Sharks.
