Vegas Golden Knights left wing Max Pacioretty (67) celebrates his goal in the first period during a game against the Philadelphia Flyers at T-Mobile Arena, Thursday, Jan. 2, 2020. Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone (61) is at right.

Marc-Andre Fleury may have pulled out of the NHL All-Star Game, but the Golden Knights will still have a representative on the ice.

Forward Max Pacioretty was named to the Pacific Division roster, the NHL announced today. It is first appearance in the game for Pacioretty, who will join coach Gerard Gallant in St. Louis on Jan. 25.

Pacioretty scored his team-leading 20th goal in last night’s game to go along with a team-high 45 points. That puts him on pace for 79 points, which would be the best of his career.

Pacioretty was named as a replacement for Anaheim forward Jakob Silfverberg, who was excused in anticipation of the birth of his child.
