The NHL will roll out the red carpet for its annual awards show Wednesday at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Last year’s event was overshadowed by the expansion draft, which the Vegas Golden Knights used to built its roster en route to unprecedented run to the Stanley Cup Final, where they would fall in five games to the Washington Capitals.
The hometown Golden Knights have forward William Karlsson, defenseman Deryk Engelland, coach Gerard Gallant and general manager George McPhee up for the awards.
The Boston Bruins’ Patrice Bergeron looks to pass Montreal Canadiens’ Bob Gainey for most Frank Selke trophies as the league’s most skilled defensive forward at five.
