Logan Thompson was the first of the Golden Knights to be named after being one of the leading goaltenders in the Pacific Division in his rookie season. Head coach Bruce Cassidy was then chosen to head the Pacific Division team as coach after leading Vegas atop the Pacific Division with a .667 points percentage through games as of Jan. 10. Vegas center, Chandler Stephenson was the final addition to the roster after he was selected to replace Seattle's Matty Beniers due to injury.
This is the third time in Vegas' young history that the club will have three team members recognized at the event and the first time since its inaugural season that the head coach, player, and goaltender have all been selected (last 2018: Gallant, Neal, Fleury).
