The Toronto Maple Leafs were shutout of the NHL awards, most of the best of which were announced last night.
Auston Matthews – the best player in Toronto Maple Leafs history – parlayed his 41 goals in 52 games into a second place finish for the Hart Trophy, but obviously that paled in comparison to what Connor McDavid (who won unanimously) accomplished.
