Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom will replace Vegas Golden Knights netminder Marc-Andre Fleury for the Pacific Division at the 2020 All-Star Game, NHL Public Relations announced Friday.

Markstrom is having a career year. The 30-year-old is 14-11-3 with a .917 save percentage and a 2.72 goals-against average. This will be his first All-Star appearance. He gives the Canucks a second All-Star in addition to phenom Elias Pettersson.

The Golden Knights and Fleury mutually decided to pass on the festivities, the team stated. Vegas no longer has a player representative at the All-Star Game. However, Gerard Gallant will coach the Pacific Division and sniper Max Pacioretty is a "Last Men In" candidate.

The All-Star Game takes place Jan. 25 in St. Louis.
