Predictions for NHL All-Star Weekend: Fastest skater, hardest shot, outdoor contests

The NHL's stars have descended upon Las Vegas for the 2022 All-Star Weekend. The festivities begin with the Skills Competition on Friday night, beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Then on Saturday, the four divisional squads square off in a tournament to determine bragging rights... and a $1,000,000 payday split between the winning players. Those games begin at 3 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN+.

The weekend is also a chance for the NHL to let its proverbial hair down, and is usually a time for some colossal weirdness (in a good way); this year, there will be two new Vegas-themed events -- the Fountain Face-Off and 21 in '22 -- that will take place outside on the Vegas Strip.
