Marc-Andre Fleury is an All-Star once again.
The Golden Knights goaltender was named to the Pacific Division All-Star team today to represent Vegas for the second year in a row. It is the fourth time he has been named an All-Star, the other two times coming with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The 34-year-old has a 2.48 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage. He leads the NHL in wins (23), shutouts (6) and games played (37).
Forward Jonathan Marchessault was named a candidate for the Last Men in fan voting contest, which will add one player to each All-Star team. Voting is open on NHL.com/Vote from 9 a.m. Thursday through 8:59 p.m. on Jan. 10. Marchessault has 30 points this season and has never been an All-Star.
The league names four All-Star teams, divided by division. The league named five forwards, three defensemen and two goalies on each team, and each NHL team must have at least one representative.
Fleury is joined on the Pacific Division team by captain and Edmonton center Connor McDavid, Calgary forward Johnny Gaudreau, Vancouver forward Elias Pettersson, Arizona forward Clayton Keller, San Jose forward Joe Pavelski and defensemen teammates Brent Burns and Erik Karlsson, Los Angeles defenseman Drew Doughty and Anaheim goalie John Gibson.
Notable Golden Knights players who did not make the team include Alex Tuch (31 points) and William Karlsson (30 points). Last season, Vegas forward James Neal joined Fleury on the team, and coach Gerard Gallant was behind the bench.
