The Capitals have already taken one trophy out of Vegas, but they’ll be leaving with another later tonight courtesy of Conn Smythe-winning goal-scoring guru Alex Ovechkin and his 392nd (give or take) “Rocket” Richard Trophy.

Tune in for that, plus half-funny jokes, washed-up “celebrities”, hockey players in tuxes, and the best part: our own Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom repping the Cup Champs at the evening’s festivities.

Here’s the order of tonight’s presentations, for those interested:

  • Ted Lindsay
  • Norris
  • King Clancy
  • Calder
  • Lady Byng
  • Masterton
  • EA SPORTS Cover Athlete
  • Selke
  • Jack Adams
  • Messier
  • Vezina
  • GM of the Year
  • O’Ree Community Hero
  • Hart

The fun kicks off tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBCSN, or streaming on the NBC Sports app - so stick with us right here for all the magic of the NHL Awards!
