The Minnesota Wild had four finalists this NHL Awards season: Kirill Kaprizov for the Calder, Jared Spurgeon had his name in the running for the Lady Byng, Matt Dumba kept his high reputation with a Masterton nod, and head coach Dean Evason got recognized for bringing this team out of mediocrity and into relevancy this season, earning him a spot in the top-three for the Jack Adams.
All four awards have been announced, with only Kaprizov winning, but that hardly takes away from the significance of the organization having four finalists in league awards. Spurgeon placed second in Lady Byng voting and so did Evason in the Jack Adams.
