Despite the win, the shot was Weber's lowest winning mark and the lowest speed to win the event since Zdeno Chara won in 2007 with a shot that hit 100.4 mph.
| Division | Player | Shot Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Atlantic | Victor Hedman | 94.2 mph |
| Atlantic | Shea Weber | 102.8 mph |
| Metro | Seth Jones | 98.1 mph |
| Metro | Alex Ovechkin | 97.8 mph |
| Central | Patrik Laine | 101.7 mph |
| Central | Nathan MacKinnon | 92.3 mph |
| Pacific | Brent Burns | 97.7 mph |
| Pacific | Drew Doughty | 94.6 |
Weber secures two points for the Atlantic Division, winning his heat over Alex Ovechkin and with the top overall shot.
The Metropolitan scored a point with Seth Jones beating Victor Hedman. The Central earned one point on the back of Patrik Laine who scored the second-fastest shot at 101.7 mph, while Drew Doughty bested Nathan MacKinnon to grab a point for the Pacific.
