Jordan Kyrou of the Blues wins the Fastest Skater event
Jordan Kyrou of the Blues won the Fastest Skater event at the NHL Skills competition Friday, ESPN.com reports. Kyrou was an upset winner as most thought Conor McDavid of the Oilers or Dylan Larkin of the Red Wings would bring home the prize.
Jack Campbell of the Maple Leafs and Andrei Vasilevskiy of the Lightning won the Save Streak event.
The Fountain Face-off, which consisted of players trying to pass pucks into different areas in the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas, was won by Zach Werenski of the Blue Jackets.
Victor Hedman of the Lightning took the Hardest Shot home. He registered a slapshot at 103.2 MPH.
Alex Pietrangelo of the Golden Knights won the Breakaway Challenge, but this was a farce as one of the judges (Jon Hamm) gave him a 19. Hamm apparently is a big fan of the former Blues and current Golden Knights player.
21 in 22, an event where players shot pucks at an oversized deck of cards to reach 21, but not busting, was won by Joe Pavelski of the Stars.
Sebastian Aho of the Hurricanes won the Accuracy Shooting.
