It was announced Feb. 3 that Henderson Silver Knights forward Tanner Laczynski was named to the 2026 American Hockey League All-Star Classic to replace the injured Carl Lindbom.

“Tanner has been an integral part of the Silver Knights and the Golden Knights for the past two seasons,” Ryan Craig said. “He has been a leader for our team, both with his on-ice production and his work ethic, and we are very happy to see him recognized for it. It is an honor that is very much deserved.”

Laczynski has appeared in nine NHL games with the Vegas Golden Knights this season, notching two assists.

Laczynski was named an All-Star last season but was replaced because of injury. This season, he will head to Rockford, Illinois, after being named as an injury replacement.
