Elias Pettersson Hardest Shot Competition Winner (+130)

Your $10 bet would return $23.00.

The reigning hardest shot competition winner, Elias Pettersson, is back in the event this year. Pettersson clocked in 103.2 MPH, the eighth hardest shot and tied for the fourth-highest for an individual player in the history of the competition.

With stats provided by NHL Edge, here is where Pettersson’s hardest shot this season ranks among his competition:

Elias Pettersson – 97.67 MPH.

J.T. Miller – 97.52 MPH.

Cale Makar – 96.18 MPH.

David Pastrnak – 95.87 MPH.

Auston Matthews – 91.43 MPH.

Mathew Barzal Fastest Skater Winner (+175)

Your $10 bet would return $27.50.

The NHL’s 2020 fastest skater, Mathew Barzal, returns to reclaim the honour. Barzal finished with a 13.175 second time, ranking as the third fastest in competition history. The New York Islander forward only trails the three-time winner of this competition, Connor McDavid, who is the odds-on favourite and for good reason.

With stats provided by NHL Edge, here is where Barzal’s top speed this season ranks among his competition:

Connor McDavid – 24.05 MPH.

Mathew Barzal – 23.53 MPH.

Cale Makar – 22.97 MPH.

William Nylander – 22.35 MPH.
