The 32-year-old won his first Norris Trophy two years ago. That experience may have helped as Bunting led all rookies with 63 points in 79 games, including 23 goals and 40 assists. Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid, the NHL's top point scorer with a career-best 123 points in 80 games, will look to capture a third Hart Memorial Trophy while Toronto Maple Leafs sniper Auston Matthews hopes to win his first after scoring a league-best 60 goals in 73 contests. With Tuesday being an off-day in the Stanley Cup Final, the 2022 NHL Awards take place in Tampa Bay as the winners of the Calder Memorial Trophy, Hart Memorial Trophy, James Norris Memorial Trophy, Ted Lindsay Award and Vezina Trophy will be revealed. With Tuesday being an off-day in the Stanley Cup Final, the 2022 NHL Awards take place in Tampa Bay as the winners of the Calder Memorial Trophy, Hart Memorial Trophy, James Norris Memorial Trophy, Ted Lindsay Award and Vezina Trophy will be revealed. However, the voters decided on the winner of the James Norris Memorial Trophy at the conclusion of the regular season, making a correct prediction much tougher.

It's time to recognize the best players from the 2021-22 season. Who will take home the hardware?

Coach of the year, as voted on by the NHL Broadcasters Association. The rookie of the year, as voted on by the PHWA. The top defenseman, as voted on by the PHWA.

Calder Trophy: for the rookie of the year as voted by the PHWA. The finalists are Michael “old man” Bunting, Trevor Zegras and Moritz Seider. Ted Lindsay Award: ...

I don’t believe Bunting will get many first-place votes for the Calder, but I bet he was everyone’s third. However, the finalists for the awards are said to be expected to attend, so it is a real live event. Convincing NHL players to go to Florida in the offseason shouldn’t be hard, though, so it’s likely most will attend. Most of the award winners were announced over the past few weeks, leaving only a few to be revealed tonight. This season, after two cancelled years, the awards show is live and televised. Tonight is the NHL Awards Show night of the playoffs.

The "SNL" star became a hockey fan because of his iconic, knuckle-pucking role in "D2: The Mighty Ducks." He talks Rangers, Lightning and liking Sidney ...

It takes a big support system to get those guys up to that level. You ever do a bit at the game? It's unfortunate he's in a rival city for the Rangers, but he's a good kid. I remember when they were playing that game in "Swingers." Just to see that footage, where it's all [pixelated] but you could still crack somebody's head open was amazing. To have a relationship where I can actually contribute to the league is a beautiful thing. [Laughs] But it seems like it was a big motivating factor. ESPN: You're part of a very specific NHL tradition: Celebrities in the crowd who get featured on the JumboTron at Rangers home games. Thompson: Yeah, the SEGA of it all is so amazing. I want to give back in more ways than just waving on the JumboTron. It's nice to have an active participation in the community because it's such a beautiful community. What's it like for a comedian to roast players that are sitting there? It wasn't a bit. Kenan Thompson has unusual hockey roots for a celebrity NHL fan.

Who would the odds-on favourites be to get the hardware for top goalie, top defenceman, top defensive forward, top coach, top rookie, etc., for this year's ...

But he appears to have his game back, playing around 18 minutes a game, averaging a point every other game and staying on the healthy side of the plus/minus ledger. His puck control, his game control, his vision of the ice are unmatched by anyone in the playoffs, let alone by any other defenceman. No coach has consistently been able to get the most out of his team through three trying seasons and post-seasons than Cooper. He's sharp, he's tactical, he's decent with the media, he has no problem pulling a guy from an intermission interview. Hard to ignore Games 1 and 2 of the Cup Final, sure, but there's no ignoring what the best goalie in the game has done for the Lightning in these playoffs. His breakout performance in Game 2 of the Cup Final was something to behold. If the Lightning rally to beat the Avalanche to win the Stanley Cup, you've got to thinkVasilevskiy would become the first goalie to win consecutive Conn Smythes since the Flyers' Bernie Parent won his second straight in 1975.

Ryan Warsofsky is aware of the chuckles from his players. The 34-year-old has emerged as one of the brightest coaching prospects in the American Hockey ...

They're trying to get better, and I think if you have an open type of dialogue like that, you can really move forward and improve on both ends." You know that there are a lot of individual goals that guys have, and that's good. His hiring came one month after Charlotte won the 2019 Calder Cup while apprenticing for coach Mike Vellucci, now an assistant for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Warsofsky handled what was the top penalty kill in the league (86.6 percent) that season. Like many coaches, Warsofsky has encountered considerable turbulence because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the success has Warsofsky in position to where he could soon start getting interest from NHL teams, he's stayed true to his core belief of remaining in the present moment. I just think I keep harping on it and understand that you can only focus on so much.

Toronto Maple Leafs star forward Auston Matthews was the big winner on Tuesday night at the NHL Awards, collecting the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most ...

Maple Leafs rookie Michael Bunting, who was notable for being 26 years old, was third in the voting. He led all rookies in assists (43) and power-play points (21). He led the NHL in even-strength goals (44), goals per game (0.82) and shots (348). He was tied for sixth in points with 106 -- the highest total of his career. Shesterkin led the NHL with a 2.07 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage in 53 games, leading the Rangers to 110 regular-season points, the third-highest total in franchise history. The closest vote of the night was for the Norris Trophy, given to the NHL's best defenseman by the PHWA. Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar won his first Norris with 1,631 points in the voting, with 92 first-place votes. He led all rookie defensemen in points (50), the third-highest for a first-year blueliner in the last 30 years. "They scheduled their vacation and there were just not any more days to escape from home," he said. He is the second American-born player to win it, joining Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane (2015-16). McDavid and Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi were the runners-up for the Ted Lindsay. Shesterkin won the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goaltender, which is voted on by the NHL's general managers. "It means a lot for me," said Shesterkin, who completed his third NHL season. He set a Maple Leafs franchise record and the single-season record for most goals by an American-born player. "Every time you get your name etched in history, with an organization like that, it's something I don't take for granted."

But this year, it wasn't so for Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid. Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews cleaned up this year winning not only the ...

He was ranked much later in the round, and it felt like a massive reach given some of the other names that were still available. No matter how you cut it, 60 goals is an impressive mark for any player to hit and hadn’t been done since Steven Stamkos hit the mark in 2011-12. Matthews had a career year scoring 60 goals and 106 points — both far and away career highs. He carried the Rangers to the Eastern Conference Finals, so to see him get 29 of a possible 32 votes from NHL GM’s was no surprise. When the Detroit Red Wings sixth overall in 2019, I was quite shocked. Shesterkin broke onto the scene this year with a league-leading 2.07 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage.

While Tuesday's NHL Awards didn't go the way many in Nashville had probably hoped - or possibly even expected - the Predators organization had plenty to ...

In a regular season performance that saw Saros record 38 wins, a 2.54 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage, that prospect should be enough to excite any Smashvillian for the years to come. Finally, there was much to be proud of in Juuse Saros, a Vezina Trophy finalist in his first season as starting goaltender. He also led the Predators and placed third among NHL rookies with a +26 rating, the franchise record for any rookie skater.

Auston Matthews is your Ted Lindsay Award winner as the league's most valuable player, as voted on by his NHL peers.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Toronto's Auston Matthews won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player on Tuesday night, beating out Edmonton's Connor McDavid ...

He led all first-year defensemen with 50 points and finished ahead of Toronto’s Michael Bunting and Anaheim’s Trevor Zegras in balloting for the award. Matthews became the first player to score 60 goals since Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos did it 10 years ago, helping the Maple Leafs (54-21-7, 115 points) set franchise records for wins and points. Shesterkin claimed the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goaltender.

Auston Matthews came away as the big winner at the 2022 NHL Awards in Tampa on Tuesday, capturing both the Hart Trophy and the Ted Lindsay award as league ...

Lou Lamoriello of the New York Islanders was the back-to-back winner in 2020 and 2021. On Tuesday, fans also learned that there will be a first-time winner for the 2022 Jim Gregory Award as the NHL’s general manager of the year. With a live awards ceremony for the first time in three years, the NHL opted for a scaled-down, more intimate event. Despite his position as a blueliner, Josi also led his team in scoring for the third-straight year. Shesterkin, 26, finished fifth in voting for the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year last season. Decked out once again in his signature bow tie, Seider admitted to not having a speech prepared and gently chided his parents for not being on hand in Tampa to see him collect his award, as they had been on vacation in Croatia. In the end, his win was assured. He eked out the victory by a margin of 1,631 to 1,606 points. His 96 points this season were a career high for him, and the most by a defenseman since Phil Housley put up 97 with the Winnipeg Jets in the 1992-93 season. A surprise selection at sixth overall in the 2019 draft, Seider’s 50 points ranked him fourth among all rookies this season, and third among all first-year blueliners in the past 30 years. But Tuesday’s wins may come as a bit of a surprise to the casual hockey fan. Matthews became the first player in a decade to hit the 60-goal mark in 2022, collecting his second-straight Rocket Richard Trophy as the league’s top goal scorer. It’s the first win in both categories for the 24-year-old.

The top three that year are great evidence of this: Nail Yakupov, Ryan Murray & Alex Galchenyuk. Yakupov came to the NHL immediately and spent four seasons with ...

- No NHL/Sabres stats Galchenyuk spent this season with the Arizona Coyotes and has bounced around quite a bit over the last few years. - No NHL/Sabres stats Murray played parts of seven seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets from 2013-2020, but his time there was often marred by injuries. He went on to sign with SKA St. Petersburg, played there for two seasons and spent one year with Khabarovsk Amur before joining his current team, Omsk Avangard. It’s hard to know where a player is going to wind up in the long run, and so many different factors come into play that anything can truly happen.

The Florida weather can impact one's fashion choices. For Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews, it caused him to sport Gucci head to toe, including an ...

"It's nice. "Trying to take it a little casual tonight," he added. It's hot," said Matthews, noting the Florida climate.

Sometimes, it circles back around to where it all started," reminisced Hoffman. "Being drafted in one of the coolest buildings in the world was pretty special, and now having the opportunity to play for Montreal, it's another good memory." It's a great accomplishment, but there's a long road ahead of you," insisted Hoffman. "You've got that extra bit of confidence now, and hopefully that can lead to you evolving your game, evolving as a person off the ice, and learning how to become a pro." "The Draft is a tremendous experience, something you'll remember for the rest of your life, but it's only the beginning. I couldn't tell the future at the time, but it's kind of cool the route that your career and life takes you. You've got a lot of adrenaline going, and obviously you're a little nervous at the same time." You've got to have the right mindset and keep working hard if you want to be successful.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Toronto's Auston Matthews won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player on Tuesday ...

Shesterkin claimed the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goaltender. Matthews became the first player to score 60 goals since Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos did it 10 years ago, helping the Maple Leafs (54-21-7, 115 points) set franchise records for wins and points. Colorado’s Cale Maker took the Norris Trophy, presented to the league’s best defenceman, and Detroit’s Moritz Seider claimed the Calder Trophy as the top rookie.

Fifteen goals and 24 assists were not good enough to receive any first-place votes or second-place votes in the eyes of the Professional Hockey Writers Association. After joining the team, Boldy developed instant chemistry with Kevin Fiala and Frederick Gaudreau, providing the Wild with a third high-end line behind Kirill Kaprizov’s unit and the GREEF unit of Jordan Greenway, Joel Eriksson Ek and Marcus Foligno. Boldy did nab two third-place votes, finishing behind the likes of 25-year-old Tanner Jeannot of the Nashville Predators (24 goals and 17 assists in 81 games) and the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Michael Bunting, a 26-year-old with 105 NHL games with two different teams and the benefit of playing with Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews.

The 24-year-old forward received 119 first-place votes in voting by the Professional Hockey Writers Association and finished well ahead of Edmonton's Connor ...
