Ducks forward Jakob Silfverberg will withdraw from the 2020 Honda NHL All-Star Game due to the expected birth of his second child.
"It's an amazing honor to be selected for the All-Star Game, and I'm very grateful to have been named," said Silfverberg. "The timing is such that my wife and I are expecting our second child in late January, and I feel it's most important to be with my family at that time. Thank you to the NHL and the Ducks organization for their support and understanding."
