A pair of youngsters helped out NHL All-Stars in the Breakaway Challenge on Saturday night.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Ryan Johansen called on the son of his team's trainer, who promptly scored on Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford in one of the Skills Competition's most memorable moments.

But the fun wasn't over.

Philadelphia Flyers winger Jakub Voracek followed that up by bringing out his own pint-sized shooter.

After the event, Voracek told reporters it was Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan Suter's idea for the Flyers forward to grab Gaudreau. Voracek said his original plan was to shoot while wearing a Rick Nash jersey.

The end result was brilliant, nonetheless.
