The ECHL All-Star Game will be held on Jan. 18 in Glen Falls, N.Y.

MacDonald was acquired in the summer to complete a trade made with Elmira late last season. MacDonald earned a spot on the ECHL all-rookie team last year while playing for the Jackals.

The 6-foot and 210-pound defenseman produced 37 points with 17 goals and 20 assists in 72 games for Elmira last season.

MacDonald's skill set as a versatile, two-way defender has fit well into Toledo's uptempo, quick transitioning system.
