Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon hurt his foot blocking a shot in the Minnesota Wild game. Because of the hurt foot, he is unable to participate in the All Star Skills Competition and is highly unlikely for the game, though he did fly to San Jose to “take part in the festivities.” (He also didn’t do any interviews, so I don’t know what he’s done.)
MacKinnon was slated to participate in the Fastest Skater competition, which is no surprise since he’s accounted one of the fastest skaters in the NHL. Indeed, he participated in that competition the last two years, though he lost last year to Conor McDavid.
