Marc-Andre Fleury Named All-Star Game Replacement
PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) - Having initially been snubbed from the All-Star game, Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has been announced as a replacement after Pekka Rinne of the Predators and Jimmy Howard of the Red Wings had to skip the game due to injuries.

You can catch the All-Star game action beginning with the All-Star Skills Competition on Saturday, Jan. 24, followed by the game on Sunday, Jan. 25 from Columbus.
