NHL reveals Skills Competition lineup for first 6 events

The field is set for the first six events in Friday's NHL All-Star Skills Competition.

As expected, the 12 players taking part in this year's festivities each chose four events to compete in out of the six.

The top eight point-earners will move on to a seventh event (a one-on-one shootout against a goaltender of their choice), from which the top six will advance to the final event (an obstacle course in which the points are doubled).

Here's the lineup for the first half-dozen showdowns:

Fastest Skater

Hardest Shot

Stick-handling

One-timers

Passing Challenge

Accuracy Shooting

Meanwhile, here are the goaltenders who'll take part in the one-on-one event:

The netminder with the most saves will win $100,000.

Here's the point system for the skaters:

Barzal replaces New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes, who was originally one of the 12 players but won't take part due to injury.

The Skills Competition winner will take home $1 million. The league unveiled the new format and incentive in December, acknowledging it relied heavily on McDavid's feedback.

The NHL's All-Star Weekend begins Thursday in Toronto with the return of the player draft for the three-on-three tournament, which will take place Saturday.
