Jones, Voynov named AHL All-Stars

In addition to today’s news of Anze Kopitar being named to the All-Star Game, two Kings prospects — goalie Martin Jones and defenseman Viatcheslav Voynov — have been named to the Eastern Conference squad for the American Hockey League All-Star Game, to be played Jan. 31 in Hershey, Penn.

Voynov (pictured), 21, also played in last year’s All-Star Game. This season, he leads the Monarchs in points (29), with eight goals and 21 assists in 37 games. Jones, 20, in his first year as a pro, leads the AHL in goals-against average (1.75), is second in save percentage (.943) and has a 14-3-0 record for the Monarchs, who are in first place in the Atlantic Division.
