Before the mayhem of the NHL offseason kicks into full gear, the league is wrapping up the 2018–19 season with the annual NHL Awards in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov, who is a finalist for the Hart Trophy, already snagged the Art Ross Trophy for most points after leading the NHL with a whopping 128 points. Meanwhile, Alex Ovechkin won the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy after completing his eighth 50-goal season. Islander goalies Thomas Greiss and Robin Lehner will be awarded with the William M. Jennings award for having played a minimum of 25 games with the fewest goals scored against during the regular season.
