Selke Trophy
Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins (winner)
Nico Hischier, New Jersey Devils
Mitchell Marner, Toronto Maple Leafs
Bergeron has won his sixth Selke Trophy as the NHL’s top defensive forward. That is the most in the history of the award.

Jack Adams Award
Dave Hakstol, Seattle Kraken
Jim Montgomery, Boston Bruins (winner)
Lindy Ruff, New Jersey Devils
No surprise another Bruin gets an award. Boston head coach Jim Montgomery wins the Jack Adams. The Bruins set an NHL record with 135 points during the regular season.
Calder Trophy
Matty Beniers, Seattle Kraken (winner)
Owen Power, Buffalo Sabres
Stuart Skinner, Edmonton Oilers
Beniers beats out Power and Skinner to win Rookie of the Year. He was always deserving but the odds were closest for the Calder most of the season.
Matty Beniers was a decisive winner of the Calder Trophy, collecting 160 first-place votes en route to becoming the 90th recipient of the Rookie of the Year award. #NHLAwards#NHLStats: https://t.co/CYi6YD6PIf pic.twitter.com/84RdAcCL3U

Ted Lindsay Trophy
Erik Karlsson, San Jose Sharks
Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers (winner)
David Pastrnak, Boston Bruins
McDavid takes home the Ted Lindsay Trophy for the most outstanding player as voted on by the players. This won’t be the only trophy McDavid takes home tonight. It’s the fourth time McDavid has won the Ted Lindsay in his career.
Vezina Trophy
Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg Jets
Ilya Sorokin, New York Islanders
Linus Ullmark, Boston Bruins
Ullmark wins the Vezina Trophy over Hellebuyck and Sorokin. The Bruins goalie was a big favorite to win the award after leading the NHL in all three major statistical categories for goaltenders.
Final voting for the Vezina.

Erik Karlsson was the top choice on 123 of 196 ballots en route to becoming the fourth in League history to claim the Norris Trophy with different clubs, following Chris Chelios, Doug Harvey and Paul Coffey. #NHLAwards#NHLStats: https://t.co/CYi6YD6PIf pic.twitter.com/z4tblvieI6

Hart Trophy
Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers (winner)
David Pastrnak, Boston Bruins
Matthew Tkachuk, Florida Panthers
McDavid wins MVP. He had run away with the award a few months into the season and never looked back. It’s his third Hart Trophy in his 8-year career up to this point and it won’t be his last.
