New York Islanders goaltender Jaroslav Halak and Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will serve as injury replacements at the 2015 Honda NHL All-Star Game to be played Jan. 25 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus (5 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports).

Halak and Fleury will replace injured goalies Pekka Rinne of the Nashville Predators and Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings.

I cant remember the last season that 2 All-Star goalies got hurt this close to the game and thus couldn't participate. Its a real shame as most players come back from the experience talking about how much fun they had. This especially is disappointing for Rinne as he was having such a great season after being sidelined most of last year with an unrelated hip infection. Oh well, Congratulations to those who have been named as replacements.
