It’s NHL All-Star Game Weekend! It’s also Saturday, which means we get treated to some good, old-fashioned Skills Competition fun this evening.

As usual, there are six challenges for the four division teams (Atlantic, Pacific, Central and Metropolitan) to participate in, in this order:
- Gatorade NHL Skills Challenge Relay™
- Honda NHL Four Line Challenge™
- DraftKings NHL Accuracy Shooting™
- Bridgestone NHL Fastest Skater™
- Oscar Mayer NHL Hardest Shot™
- Discover NHL Shootout™
If you’re tuning into the Skills Competition to watch the Breakaway Challenge on Saturday, I have some bad news. It’s not alive anymore.
As it turns out, the players have a good reason for killing it:
But it will be missed. Instead, we get the Four Line Challenge, which is kind of complicated but sounds quite fun!
All 44 of the NHL’s All-Stars will compete in the skills challenge in one way or another. And yes, it is a competition: the division that wins each event will get a certain amount of points, and the team with the most points by the end gets to choose which team they play first in the 3-on-3 All-Star tournament on Sunday.
The All-Star Skills Competition will begin at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT. You can watch the event on NBCSN in the U.S. and on CBC, Sportsnet, and TVA Sports in Canada. Live streams will be hosted at NBCSN.com and CBC.com.
