HARTFORD, April 11, 2019:  The American Hockey League today announced that Hartford Wolf Pack defenseman John Gilmour has been named as a 2018-19 AHL First-Team All-Star.

Gilmour, a third-year pro out of Providence College, leads AHL defensemen in points, with 54 in 67 games, including 20 goals, a Wolf Pack franchise record for defensemen.  The 25-year-old Montreal, Quebec native is tops among Wolf Pack skaters in points and assists (34), and has the third-most goals on the team.  He also leads the Hartford squad, and ranks second among AHL defensemen, in game-winning goals with five.  That total includes three overtime tallies, which ties a Wolf Pack single-season record.

Gilmour, who was signed as a free agent by the parent New York Rangers August 18, 2016, has also skated in five NHL games with the Rangers this season, after logging 28 games of NHL action last year (2-3-5).  In 187 career AHL games with the Wolf Pack, Gilmour has totaled 32 goals and 73 assists for 105 points.
