The first of the eight skills during Saturday's NHL All-Stars Skills Competition was the Fastest Skater.
Lightning center Brayden Point was the first to go, and he completed his lap around the rink in 13.579 seconds.
That time stood up until Connor McDavid of the Oilers, the last to compete, completed the loop around the ice in 13.454 seconds. If this were the Olympics, Point would have earned a silver. But, this is not the Olympics.
McDavid is the first to repeat as the fastest skater.
The rest of the times:
Zach Werenski, Blue Jackets 14.250
Rickard Rakell, Ducks 14.181
Noah Hanifin, Hurricanes, 14.317
Josh Bailey, Islanders, 14.413
Nathan MacKinnon, Avalanche 14.056
Jack Eichel, Sabres, 13.828
