Tonight's NHL Skills Competition consists of six events. There's the fastest skater, breakaway challenge, accuracy shooting, skills challenge relay, hardest shot and the elimination shootout. The first event of the night is the fastest skater competition and will feature two teams of six, each including a goalie. "Team Staal" features Michael Grabner, Mike Green, Ryan Kesler, Marc Staal, Kris Letang, and Cam Ward.
Team Lidstrom will feature Duncan Keith, Taylor Hall, Matt Duchene, Martin St. Louis, Steven Stamkos, & Tim Thomas.
Then comes the Breakaway challenge (how is Claude Giroux not in this?) where two teams of 3 go for the most stylish breakaway move.
