Trevor Zegras scored a blindfolded goal at the NHL All-Star Skills Competition and fans went wild

HOW???

There is no one doing it better in the NHL than Trevor Zegras right now.

Zegras is only a 20-year-old rookie playing for the Anaheim Ducks, but over the last few months we’ve seen some incredible creativity out of the kid. Seriously, Zegras has scored one goal of the year contender and assisted on another, all within the span of two months.

On Friday, during the NHL’s All-Star Skills Competition, Zegras was at it again during the Breakaway Challenge. For starters, Zegras came out in full Peter LaFleur attire, invoking a full Dodgeball reference. Not only that, Zegras went the extra step and took his shot with a blindfold on while being pelted by dodgeballs.

Oh, and for good measure, Zegras scored on his attempt. Just because he’s that insane.

There’s nothing Zegras can’t do, is there? What an awesome display of what his talent brings to the NHL and the hockey world. And somehow, Zegras didn’t even win the event!!! Las Vegas bias got to the voting panel as Alex Pietrangelo of the Vegas Golden Knights won instead. A shame.

Hockey fans, however, absolutely loved Zegras’s moves as he stole the show at the NHL All-Star Skills Competition.

Creating the best possible lines from the NHL’s 2022 All-Star roster

What are the best line combinations for the 2022 NHL All-Star Game?

In spite of rampant COVID-19 postponements throughout the league, the 2022 NHL All-Star Game is still happening this year!

Set for the weekend of February 4 in Las Vegas, the NHL will host its usual All-Star weekend with a skills competition followed by the All-Star Game featuring some of the league’s best players. If you’ve seen one All-Star weekend in the NHL, you’ve seen them all, as familiar events such as fastest skater and hardest shot will return alongside the four-team 3-on-3 tournament.

On Thursday, the NHL announced the 40-player roster that will make up the weekend’s festivities, with all 32 teams represented by at least one player. Fan favorites such as Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews have made the cut while long-time veterans such as Sidney Crosby and Brad Marchand were snubbed.

Debates about rosters aside, the All-Star Game is a lighthearted event that’s supposed to be fun and frivolous, so let’s take a look at some of the best line combinations we can come up with for the 3-on-3 tournament.
