The Boston chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association chose to nominate Boston Bruins goaltender Jonas Gustavsson as this year’s candidate for the Masterson Trophy. That award is “given to the NHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.”

Gustavsson has done reasonably well as a member of the Boston Bruins this season. He has a 11-7-1 record (1 shutout). He has a respectable 2.63 goals against and a .911 save percentage. Gustavsson was the dark horse in the running for the number two job at training camp, but he beat out all of the other candidates to become Tuukka Rask‘s backup.
