Accuracy Shooting

Three players from each team will take shots at four targets in each corner of the net. Each individual matchup will be worth one point, and the hardest shot from each team will go head-to-head in the accuracy shooting final, which will be worth one additional point the winner's team.
Matchup 1: Kevin Shattenkirk vs. Ryan Reaves
Matchup 2: Vladimir Tarasenko vs. David Perron
Matchup 3: Robby Fabbri vs. Jaden Schwartz

Hardest Shot

Three players from each team will take three shots at the net to determine the hardest shot. Each individual matchup will be worth one point, and the player with the fastest shot overall will earn an extra point for his team.
Matchup 1: Patrik Berglund vs. Nail Yakupov
Matchup 2: Kyle Brodziak vs. Dmitrij Jaskin
Matchup 3: Brad Hunt vs. Colton Parayko

Breakaway Relay

Each team will be given 10 pucks inside the center circle. If a player scores on a breakaway, he steps aside to watch the relay. If he misses, he must retrieve the puck, bring it back to center ice and wait to go again. The first team to score 10 goals will win. Each goal is worth one team point, while each save is also worth one team point. The first team to score 10 goals will also receive an extra point. After the competition, Jake Allen will take a breakaway on Carter Hutton before Hutton returns the favor.

Relay Race

Each team will have five players and a goalie. Players will lineup single file and skate counter clockwise around the rink, passing their stick off to the next player after they complete a lap until all five players have raced. Once the skaters have finished, the goaltenders for each team will attempt to shoot five pucks into the net. The first team to finish the relay with their goalie scoring five times will earn a point.
Team Pietrangelo: Joel Edmundson, Carl Gunnarsson, Colton Parayko, Nail Yakupov, Robby Fabbri, Jake Allen
Team Steen: Brad Hunt, Jori Lehtera, David Perron, Ryan Reaves, Patrik Berglund, Carter Hutton

3-on-3 Competition

Team Pietrangelo and Team Steen will compete in 3-on-3 action to close out the skills competition. Each goal scorer will collect one point for his team.
