The first night of NHL All-Star action is set for tonight, as 12 players are competing for a shot at $1 million.
The 2024 NHL All-Star Skills competition takes place at 7 p.m. ET Friday night at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Twelve of the league’s biggest and brightest stars are competing in eight different skill events to be crowned the winner and head home with the cash prize.
Canada is going to be well represented at the competition. The deadly Edmonton duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl will be partaking in Friday’s festivities, as will two members from host Toronto in Auston Matthews and William Nylander. In addition, three players from Vancouver are suiting up for the event — Elias Pettersson, J.T. Miller and Quinn Hughes.
As for the rest of the field, Colorado’s pair of Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon will be participating in the event. Boston’s David Pastrnak, Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov and New York’s Mathew Barzal round out the remainder of the group. Barzal was a late replacement for New Jersey’s Jack Hughes, who is coming back from an injury and was not cleared to participate.

In this event, the 12 participants will partake in four of the first six events. The amount of participants per event will vary.
For each challenge, players are competing for points based off their ranking. For example, first place earns five points, second get four, third receives three, fourth gets two and fifth receives.
After the first six events in Round 1, top eight skaters advance to Round 2, which is the one-on-one breakaway challenge. Once again, points are based off where each player finishes in the challenge.
Finally, the top six point scorers after Round 2 advance to the third and final round — the Obstacle Course. In this event, points are worth double. Whoever has the most combined points at the end wins the skills competition and the $1 million prize.

Round 1
Fastest Skater — Connor McDavid
In the words of Seth Rogan’s character from “Superbad” — “He’s a freak, he’s the fastest kid alive.” McDavid was the favorite to win Fastest Skater coming in, and he proved why in the first event, beating out Mat Barzal for the best time.

One Timers — Nathan MacKinnon
Nathan MacKinnon was the second player to go in the One Timers event, but his 23 points were enough to hold on for the win. It looked like David Pastrnak may have eked out a win over the Avs star, however, he had his points taken back, leaving MacKinnon as the winner.

Hardest Shot — Cale Makar
