Avs' MacKinnon wins Hart, Lindsay awards as NHL's top player
Colorado Avalanche center Nathan Mackinnon was the big winner at Thursday's NHL awards show, taking home the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league's MVP and the Ted Lindsay Award as the league's most outstanding player as decided by the NHL Players Association. MacKinnon, who helped lead the Avalanche to the Stanley Cup championship two years ago and was a finalist for the Hart for the fourth time and the second time for the Lindsay, had never won either award. MacKinnon had a career-high 140 points this season. He opened the season with a 35-game point streak at home, second all time only to Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky, who won the Hart eight times and Lindsay five times, and Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby congratulated McKinnon after he won those awards. Crosby has won the Hart twice and the Lindsay three times. MacKinnon received 137 first-place votes and 1,740 points in the Hart voting by the media. Kucherov was second with 50 first-place votes and 1,269 points.

Three days after the Florida Panthers won their first Stanley Cup in franchise history, a few other NHL stars received trophies of their own. Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon and Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck both took home multiple awards Thursday night during the NHL Awards in Los Angeles.
MacKinnon earned his first Hart Trophy in his fourth time as a finalist after setting an Avalanche record with 140 points during the 2023-24 season.
Bedard beat out Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber and New Jersey Devils blueliner Luke Hughes to win the Calder with a stellar rookie season. Despite missing 14 games with a broken jaw, the No. 1 pick of the 2023 NHL Draft lived up to expectations by leading all rookies with 22 goals and 61 points in 68 games.
Faber received 42 first-place votes after averaged 24:58 of ice time per game during his rookie seasons, leading first-year skaters and ranking sixth among all NHL skaters.
Connor Hellebuyck earned his second career Vezina Trophy after marking a .921 save percentage while allowing an NHL-low 199 goals against through 60 starts.
He beat out Cup champion Sergei Bobrovsky and the Vancouver Canucks' Thatcher Demko for the award, and also finished sixth place in Hart Trophy voting.
Hughes became the first Canucks play to win the Norris Trophy after racking up 92 points in 82 games to break his own single-season franchise record for points by a defenseman.
The Nashville Predators' Roman Josi and Colorado Avalanche's Cale Makar finished as runners up.
The NHL world will return to the Sphere tomorrow for Day 1 of the 2024 NHL Draft, where the San Jose Sharks are expected to draft Boston University star Macklin Celebrini with the No. 1 pick.
