WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Jets will be sending at least two players to participate in the 2020 NHL All-Star Game, set to take place in St. Louis in late January.
Forward Mark Scheifele and goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who have both been with the Jets for their entire NHL careers, have been chosen to participate.
Hellebuyck was previously selected to play on an All-Star team in 2018, during the same season that saw him break franchise records for shutouts, with six, and minutes played, at 3,966.
Scheifele, who leads the team in points, goals and assists this season, was previously selected as an All Star last year.
