NHL AWARDS

Anderson left the Senators during the season to support his wife, Nicholle, in her fight against throat cancer, but returned to become Ottawa’s career victories leader.

Calgary’s Johnny Gaudreau won the Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanlike play.

The league also revealed the results of the Golden Knights’ expansion draft during the show, with former Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury getting wild cheers from an arena filled with new fans of the NHL’s 31st franchise.

While Crosby didn’t claim the Hart, the back-to-back Stanley Cup champion won the Richard Trophy as the NHL’s top goalscorer.

“I haven’t even thought about that, to be honest with you,” Crosby said. “Been a lot of things going on.”

Crosby was sorry to part ways with Fleury, his longtime teammate in Pittsburgh.

“I’ll let him know how weird it was seeing him in a jersey like that,” Crosby said. “I know that he is going to do great things

here.”

Bergeron also won the Selke in 2012, 2014 and 2015. The two-way Bruins star beat out Anaheim’s Ryan Kesler and joined Bob Gainey as the only players to win the Selke four times.

Bergeron paid tribute to Gainey after the Montreal great presented the award to him.

“I think it’s the way that he played the game hard and was always in the right position,” Bergeron said. “Not only him on the ice, but also him off the ice as a role model, as a person, I’ve always respected him for that. It was special to receive that award from him, because he was such an important player for the NHL.”

Bobrovsky got 25 of the 30 first-place votes to outdistance Braden Holtby and Carey Price after leading the league with a 2.06 goals-against average and a .931 save percentage. Bobrovsky, the first Russian to win the award twice, and Tortorella played major roles in the Blue Jackets’ revival for the best season in franchise history.

Burns beat out Ottawa’s Erik Karlsson for the Norris in a duel of two 70-point scorers.
