The award is awarded annually to the player who “best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.”
The goaltender entered the NHL and NHLPA Player Assistance program during the pre-season for what the goaltender said was substance use. He also dealt with off-season knee surgery and worked his way back to the Canadiens lineup for his 15th NHL season, playing in five games.
