"I think everyone's a little nervous going first," Kreider said. Larkin finished seventh with a time of 14.116. Los Angeles Kings forward Adrian Kempe finished second (13.585), and Kreider, who went first, finished third (13.664). "There are some good skaters in this league as well. "I'm a pretty good skater so I think I have a chance every time," McDavid said. McDavid was the last to compete and finished fourth with a time of 13.690.

But obviously those are some of the fastest guys in the world, so just being able to go up against some of those guys was really cool." "When we were standing there and they were announcing our names, I was a little nervous for sure. "It's pretty cool obviously to be out there with all those high-end guys like that," Kyrou said. He was in awe of his competition, which not only included McDavid, but also Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin, who set the record when he won the event in 2016 (13.172), and New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider, who finished third in 2020. Kyrou, who was selected to his first All-Star Game, completed the course in 13.550 seconds. "Connor is definitely still the fastest player in the world, in the game," Kyrou said after upsetting McDavid, the Edmonton Oilers center and three-time champion, at T-Mobile Arena on Friday.
