ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jonas Hiller says he had a dream about making his first All-Star team.

The Anaheim goalie awoke Tuesday to learn it had come true.

Hiller and Ducks right wing Corey Perry have been selected for the All-Star game in Raleigh, N.C., on Jan. 30.

Hiller is the first Swiss goalie to make an NHL All-Star team and the only netminder from the Western Conference chosen this year.

Hiller has tirelessly kept the Ducks competitive this season, ranking second in the NHL with 21 wins while facing more shots and making more saves and appearances than any goalie. He's third in the league in save percentage, and he heads into Wednesday's home game against St. Louis riding back-to-back shutouts of Columbus and San Jose.
