For the fourth time in his career, Kris Letang is a finalist for the Masterton Trophy, the NHL announced on Tuesday.
The Masterton Trophy is awarded annually “to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey."
Letang has never won the Masterton Trophy before in his career, but was a finalist in 2014, 2015 and 2018. He finished as runner-up to Devan Dubnyk in 2014-15. The members of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association in each local chapter vote for a nominee from the team they cover, and then members of the PHWA league-wide vote among the 32 nominees for the winner and finalists.
