Carey Price Wins 2014-15 Hart Trophy Award at NHL Awards Ceremony

On a night that saw him win four awards, Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price took the biggest honor of all as he was named the NHL's most valuable player by virtue of capturing the Hart Memorial Trophy.

Price became the first goaltender to win the Hart since the 2001-02 season, when fellow Habs netminder Jose Theodore took the MVP award.

According to Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post, Price came out on top by a landslide:

Carey Price ran away with the thing: 139 first-place votes to Alex Ovechkin's 8.
