The Arizona Coyotes enforcer John Scott, who has just 1 point while playing part time in the N.H.L. this season, has been voted into the All-Star Game on Jan. 31 in Nashville.

Scott will be the captain of the Pacific Division team. He benefited from a ballot-stuffing campaign by Coyotes fans in what critics called a mockery of the N.H.L.’s decision to allow fans to vote for players. Three other team captains — the Chicago Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane, the Washington Capitals’ Alex Ovechkin and the Florida Panthers’ Jaromir Jagr — were also elected by the fans.

Scott is known more for using his fists than for scoring goals. He has 542 penalty minutes and 11 points in 285 career games. (AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE)
