2016 NHL Skills Competition Results: John Tavares wins shooting accuracy for the East

Tavares was the fastest to hit four of five targets, while the Eastern Conference won the overall competition in a landslide.

The NHL (sponsored by something or other, surely) All-Star Skills Competition Saturday night in Nashville was it's usual informal, fun, sight-gag-laden affair, and New York Islanders fans will be moderately pleased to know their captain and perfectionist John Tavares won the night's shooting accuracy competition.

Tavares wasn't perfect -- but no one was. By virtue of his being the fastest out of several who nailed all four targets on just five attempts, he took the crown and won an extra point for his conference.
