The top eight players in the standings after this stage will advance to the seventh event, the NHL Honda Breakaway Duel, where each player will choose which goaltender they will shoot against. After this seventh event, the top six in the standings will compete in the final event, the NHL Pepsi Obstacle Course, where the points are doubled.
