Mike Smith salvages Four Line Challenge with 200-foot snipe
Arizona Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith won the Honda NHL Four Line Challenge for the Pacific Division with a 20-point shot from the opposing goal line Saturday in the NHL All-Star Skills Competition.
With a single attempt, Smith split a tiny window located in the center of the net from almost 200 feet away.
The challenge, which proved mighty difficult throughout, yielded many more misses than makes, as players readily missed the small targets from long distances.
The Pacific Division already had the lead when Smith connected from 200 feet. Brent Burns lobbed a three-point shot into the top corner from the red line.
And howled in celebration.
The Pacific won the event with 23 points. The Metropolitan and Central scored one point, and the Atlantic had zero.
