Zetterberg, 36, is having an extremely successful season with 60 points (15-45-60) in 72 games. With a lot of doubt over his play due to the age factor, the 14-year veteran has made a statement with his performance this year.
The Masterton Trophy is awarded annually to the NHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.
