It’s time to swap sweaters for suits -- the Florida Panthers are hitting the red carpet.
Hosted by actor Will Arnett and featuring a musical performance by X Ambassadors, the 2016 NHL Awards will be broadcast live on NBCSN on Wednesday, June 22 at 7 p.m. ET from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The annual event will honor the best regular-season players in a wide range of categories, including most valuable player (Hart Trophy), outstanding goaltender (Vezina Trophy), outstanding defenseman (Norris Trophy) and outstanding rookie (Calder Trophy).
A year after defenseman Aaron Ekblad captured the second Calder Trophy in franchise history, the Panthers are once again poised to take home some serious hardware, as forwards Aleksander Barkov and Jaromir Jagr, as well as head coach Gerard Gallant, were all named finalists for major awards.
