The Metropolitan Division reigned supreme in the skills relay on Saturday, finishing with a top time of 1:21.70.

The Metro got off to a hot start thanks to a near-perfect one-timer section headlined by Seth Jones, Alex Ovechkin, and Wayne Simmonds.

John Tavares would go next in the passing accuracy portion, and after a clean skate around the cones by Justin Faulk, Sidney Crosby stole the show - surprising no one - with a clean streak in the stick-handling portion.
