Sin City takes center stage tonight – and for the second time today – as (most of) the NHL’s best and brightest descend on Las Vegas to see who gets to take home the hardware.
The season may not have had the ending we all wanted, but that doesn’t mean we won’t get to see at least a few members of the Caps’ organization lift a shiny trophy or two tonight. And while Alex Ovechkin didn’t take a transatlantic flight back to the States to see if he could win the coveted Mark Messier Leadership Trophy (can you blame him?), the rest of the team’s finalists will be in attendance.
So does Braden Holtby capture his first Vezina tonight? Will Barry Trotz get the Adams? Can Brian MacLellan earn GM of the Year honors? Tune in to find out, tonight at 7:00 ET!
