Washington Capitals right-wing Tom Wilson finished third in the hardest shot battle at the 2022 NHL SuperSkills Competition at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Friday. The 27-year-old fired a 101.1 mile-per-hour slapshot.

He finished behind Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (103.2) and New York Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech (102.2).

More importantly, Wilson still lives “rent free” in Las Vegas. He would draw the largest reaction of any player inside of Capital One Arena – West (T-Mobile Arena).

And finally, lookout Las Vegas, the Wilson boys are in town.
