The 2024 NHL All-Star Skills competition takes place on Friday night.
The event features a revamped format, designed in part by Edmonton star Connor McDavid. Twelve players will battle across eight events, accumulating points as they go; at the end, the player touting the most points will take home the $1 million prize.
The participants are:
- Auston Matthews (Toronto Maple Leafs)
- William Nylander (Toronto Maple Leafs)
- Nikita Kucherov (Tampa Bay Lightning)
- Connor McDavid (Edmonton Oilers)
- Leon Draisaitl (Edmonton Oilers)
- Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche)
- Cale Makar (Colorado Avalanche)
- David Pastrnak (Boston Bruins)
- Elias Pettersson (Vancouver Canucks)
- J.T. Miller (Vancouver Canucks)
- Quinn Hughes (Vancouver Canucks)
- Mat Barzal (New York Islanders)
The all-stars will battle the first six events and the four lowest-scoring players will be eliminated. The last eight all-stars will then select a goalie to shoot against in the NHL shootout. Only six players will survive to the final round — the NHL obstacle course — in which points are doubled.
All of the events are listed sequentially below.
- Fastest Skater
- Hardest Shot
- Stick Handling
- One-Timers
- Passing Challenge
- Accuracy Shooting
- NHL Shootout
- NHL Obstacle Course
2024 NHL All-Star Game
- Date: Saturday, Feb. 3
- Time: 3 p.m. ET
- Tickets: StubHub starting at $144
This year’s All-Star Game blends two previous formats. For the eighth consecutive year, the game features a four-team, three-on-three format that the NHL adopted over a traditional two-team format. In addition, this year marks the return of the "fantasy draft," with the four captains picking their teams on Thursday, Feb. 1.
Ahead of the draft, the four teams are Team Matthews (Auston Matthews, Morgan Rielly), Team McDavid (Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl), Team MacKinnon (Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar) and Team Hughes (Quinn Hughes, Elias Pettersson).
