New format at the All-Star Game: McDavid wins the million in the skills challenge

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

The competition, held the night before the All-Star Game, will use a new format to determine the best of the best. Twelve players from the best ice hockey league in the world compete in the ‘skills test’ with eight disciplines. The first phase focuses, among other things, on speed, the player with the hardest and most precise shot or the operation of the stick.

The top eight points collectors then compete in the penalty shootout division, for which they can choose the goalkeeper they compete against. The sextet with the most points overall is admitted to the final, an obstacle course in which double points can be achieved.

Canadian McDavid, who has already secured the crown of fastest player during the traditional All-Star Weekend three times (2017, 2018, 2019), wins the competition ahead of his fellow countryman Cale Makar, defender of the Colorado Avalanche, and the American Auston Matthews , center for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

In addition to McDavid, who will increase his princely salary of $12.5 million per season by one million, Makar’s teammate Alexander Georgiew can also look forward to a boost. The Russian with Bulgarian roots earns 100,000 dollars as the best goalkeeper. Georgiev made nine successful saves in the penalty shootout against McDavid. (SDA)
