Alex Nylander is an All Star.
The AHL announced a series of roster changes to this week's All-Star Classic -- a number of players withdrawing due to injury and players being selected as their replacements -- and Nylander was among the players added to the Atlantic Division roster for the event.
It is Nylander's first time being selected for the All-Star Classic.
Nylander replaces defenseman Xavier Ouellet as Wilkes-Barre's representative. Ouellet remains sidelined week-to-week with a lower-body injury. The game is being held just outside of Ouellet's hometown in Laval, Quebec, which likely was a factor in Ouellet being selected in the first place.
