| P-Bruins' Karsums named to AHL All-Star team »
PROVIDENCE -- Johnny Boychuk and Martin St. Pierre of the Providence Bruins were named Tuesday to the Canadian team for the 2009 AHL All-Star Classic, which will be played in Worcester on Monday, Jan. 26. "Good for them. They both deserve it,'' said coach Rob Murray. Boychuk, 24, of Edmonton, Alb., was acquired from Colorado for Matt Hendricks last summer. He is the AHL's top-scoring defenseman with a 9-24-33 line in 37 games. St. Pierre, 25, who is currently with the Boston Bruins, is a native of Embrun, Ont. He was acquired from Chicago for Pascal Pelletier last summer. St. Pierre was third in the AHL in scoring with 10-25-35 in 30 games at the time of his recall. The 24-man roster for the Canadian AHL All-Stars, comprising players born in Canada, was announced Tuesday at 2 p.m. At 2 p.m. on Wednesday, the 24-man roster for the PlanetUSA AHL All-Stars, comprising players born outside of Canada, will be announced. Providence's Martins Karsums stands a good chance of being named to the PlanetUSA team. Karsums, 22, a native of Latvia, is eighth is scoring in the AHL with 15-23-38 totals in 37 games.
