When Peter Holland took the ice in the shootout on Thursday night, he was set for just the fourth shootout attempt of his career and against one of the best goalies in the world in Pekka Rinne, no less. The young Leafs forward has shown off his scoring flair many times, particularly busting in alone on a breakaway against a goaltender, making him a natural selection for the skills competition.
In three shootout attempts last season, Holland recorded a goal in his last attempt of the season. That marker was also a game winner against Ottawa goaltender Andrew Hammond.
