This year's NHL All-Star Skills Competition will look a little different.
Introducing the "Four Line Challenge."
With no breakaway challenge this year, the NHL will implement the new competition as a replacement, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. The "Four Line Challenge" will entail players attempting to hit targets in the net from the near blue line, red line, far blue line and far goal line.
Here's the exciting part: goalies will be allowed to participate from the farthest distance if they so please, and will be awarded extra points if they're capable of getting it done.
