What a night.
With all the hubbub from the NHL expansion draft, you’d be forgiven if you put the NHL Awards on the back-burner.
A few awards had already been determined. Connor McDavid won the Art Ross Trophy, while Sidney Crosby won the Maurice Richard, and Braden Holtby won the William M. Jennings Trophy.
Four Canadian teams featured an NHL award winner. McDavid took the spotlight with three total awards, while Calgary’s Johnny Gaudreau, Toronto’s Auston Matthews, and Ottawa’s Craig Anderson also took home hardware.
Here’s a look at the 2017 NHL award winners.
