NEW YORK -- The National Hockey League announced today that New York Rangers forward Vincent Trocheck and Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor have been added to the roster for 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend replacing injured players Jack Eichel of the Vegas Golden Knights and Connor Bedard of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Trocheck has recorded 15-29—44 in 46 GP this season for the Metropolitan Division-leading Rangers (29-15-2, 60 points), where he ranks second on the team (tied) in points and first (tied; 9) in power-play goals. Trocheck, who is on pace to set new single-season career highs for assists and points in 2023-24, recorded 1-3—4 in 1 GP for Team Atlantic during his only previous All-Star Game appearance in 2017.
Connor (18-11—29 in 28 GP), who is making his second All-Star Game appearance after helping Team Central advance to the final at the 2022 NHL All-Star Game (1-1—2 in 2 GP), tops the Central Division-leading Winnipeg Jets (30-10-4, 64 points) in goals and game-winning goals (tied; 5) despite missing 16 games. Connor is on pace to become the second player in Jets/Thrashers history to record multiple 40-goal campaigns.
