Lightning assignments for Saturday’s NHL All Star Game Skills Competition

There weren't too many players that were pumped to compete against heavy favorite Connor McDavid in tonight's fastest skater contest at the NHL All-Star Game Skills Competition.

But Lightning center Brayden Point will get a shot, as he'll be part of the fastest skater event tonight at 7 p.m. (NBSCN). The other Lightning All-Stars will also have an event, with Nikita Kucherov in the passing challenge, Steven Stamkos in the hardest shot and + accuracy and goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy in the save streak.

The Lightning's injured All-Star, Victor Hedman, will still be part of the weekend, serving as the Atlantic Division's assistant to the equipment manager for Sunday's All-Star Game. So he'll be on the bench.
