ST. LOUIS -- The Professional Hockey Writers Association voted on 10 midseason awards for the third consecutive season, and Thursday's results show that Mike Sullivan is the early favorite for the Jack Adams Award, awarded each year to the coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team's success.
Sullivan is followed by John Tortorella and Craig Berube in the Jack Adams voting.
The PHWA does not vote on the actual Jack Adams Award at the end of the season -- that is done by the National Hockey League Broadcasters Association.
