Kadri of the Colorado Avalanche (Central Division), Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning (Atlantic) and Terry of the Anaheim Ducks (Pacific) won the fan vote for their respective divisions and were added to the rosters for the All-Star Game to be played at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Feb. 5 (3 p.m. ET; ABC, SN, TVAS).
New York Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad won the fan vote in the Metropolitan Division but cannot attend because of personal reasons. Guentzel of the Pittsburgh Penguins finished second in the voting and will take his place.
Kadri was the top vote-getter in the fan vote that ended Monday at 11:59 p.m. The forward received more than double the number of votes of the second-place finisher in the Central. The 31-year-old has never played in the All-Star Game in 13 NHL seasons. Terry and Guentzel also will play in the NHL All-Star Game for the first time.
Stamkos will play in his seventh NHL All-Star Game.

Kadri is fifth in the NHL with 51 points (15 goals, 36 points) and will join Avalanche coach Jared Bednar, center Nathan MacKinnon and defenseman Cale Makar on the Central.
"Definitely exciting for sure," Kadri said. "I've had overwhelming support, which is great. And through my family and friends and Avs nation in general, I was able to get the job done. So I was definitely pretty excited [when I heard] and I look forward to it."
Stamkos is right behind Kadri in the scoring race with 46 points (18 goals, 28 assists). The forward and captain of the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions will join Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman and goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy on the Atlantic.
"It's always a huge honor. I've always looked at them that way," Stamkos said Tuesday. "You never really know how many opportunities you're going to get. Obviously a unique situation with the fans voting me in. A little surprised, but I think that's kind of cool. I've never been in that situation before.
"The fans in Tampa and all over got their votes in, which was, like I said, pleasantly surprising. Maybe I shouldn't be, but I thought that was pretty cool. I got a young family now, and a 2 1/2-year-old that kind of understands what's going on, and I think that's what's going to make it even more special this time around."
Terry has scored 22 goals in 38 games, sixth in the NHL, after never scoring more than seven goals in his previous four NHL seasons. The Ducks are also represented by goalie John Gibson on the Pacific.
"I got so many tweets and I saw how great the Ducks fans were toward me and I know it was a full-court press from the Ducks fans. I am so appreciative," said Terry, who is currently in NHL COVID-19 protocol. "It means a lot to me, but I think it's pretty cool for me, because I know that there are a lot of fans around the League that aren't even Ducks fans that must have been voting for me. To just kind of know that and receive the recognition is pretty cool for me."
Terry was told about the Last Men In vote by his coach, Dallas Eakins, while on a Zoom call with the entire Ducks team.
