Three members of the Vancouver Canucks, who helped their club capture the Presidents' Trophy for posting the NHL's best record, have added individual awards as the 2010-11 regular-season schedule concluded today. Left wing Daniel Sedin won his first career Art Ross Trophy as NHL scoring leader, while Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider earned the William Jennings Trophy as the goaltenders on the club allowing the fewest goals.

Anaheim Ducks right wing Corey Perry, a potential Hart Trophy finalist, joined the Canucks' trio as an award winner, capturing the Maurice Richard Trophy as the League's goal-scoring leader.

The four trophy winners will be honored at the 2011 NHL Awards, to be held in Las Vegas on Wednesday, June 22.

LAS VEGAS -- Pretty good month for Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith, though it didn't start out that way.

On May 24, in a hockey episode well documented in words and video, Keith lost seven teeth during the second period of Game 4 of the Western Conference. While he was treated in the dressing room, he heard the Fratellis' song, "Chelsea Dagger," thumping from the ice level signaling a Blackhawks goal, and started feeling better. Within seven minutes of game time, Keith was back on the ice to lead his team in minutes played (29:02) as Chicago swept the San Jose Sharks before going on to win the Stanley Cup.
Now, on June 24, Keith will wake up as the 2010 Norris Trophy winner as the NHL's best defenseman.

"To come out and be the guy who gets the award is kind of surreal a little bit," Keith told the media while looking at the famed trophy backstage. "To think of the other defensemen who have won it, and nominated, and the other Blackhawk players who have won it, Chris Chelios, Pierre Pilote to name a couple, to be in that group is kind of unbelievable."

LAS VEGAS  -- When he was a kid, Buffalo Sabres goalie Ryan Miller said he loved buying "decks" of hockey trading cards.

"It was so cool to see the cards with the award winners," Miller said.

On Wednesday night, Miller might have been imaging what his trading card will look like this coming season: He won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's outstanding goaltender, walking to the stage at the NHL Awards Show after standing in a threesome with fellow finalists Martin Brodeur and Ilya Bryzgalov.

"I look up to Marty quite a bit," Miller said of the four-time Vezina winner from New Jersey. "And Bryzgalov and I came into the American League at the same time, so it's been really fun watching him progress. He played with my brother Drew for a while, so I knew what kind of stand-up, character guy he was."

LAS VEGAS -- The fifth time that proved to be the charm for Tampa Bay's Martin St. Louis.

St. Louis finally won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy -- given to the player who "exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability" -- Wednesday night during the 2010 NHL Awards Show at the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino.

It not only ended St. Louis' frustrating run as an also-ran for the award, but ended the four-year stranglehold on this hardware by Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk.

For St. Louis, who had finished second in each of the past three years, it was worth the wait to finally come out on top.

"You have to respect the honor -- whether you are winning or not," St. Louis said. "It's an honor to be nominated. You have to respect the NHL and what it stands for. This is the best League in the world, the best level you can play, and this is what every kid dreams of to do. I couldn't be happier to win this trophy.

A year and a day after celebrating the birth of his son Chace, Washington Capitals goalie Jose Theodore won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy at the NHL Awards Show for the way he dealt with his son's death.

Chace Theodore passed away 54 days after being born due to respiratory complications from his premature birth. Jose dealt with it off the ice by creating a charity, "Saves for Kids," to benefit the neonatal intensive care unit at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, the hospital where his son died.

"Obviously, it was a tough year emotionally, but I'm really proud of the way I handled myself," he said. "Then winning this award just brings back some tough memories or good memories, it depends, but it's tough. With all the support I had, it was just fun to see people around me that cared for that."

LAS VEGAS – On a night full of star performances, perhaps the League's quietest player stole the spotlight at the 2010 NHL Awards Show at the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino.

Vancouver's Henrik Sedin pulled off a huge upset in winning the Hart Trophy as the NHL's MVP, beating out its two biggest superstars: the brash and gregarious Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby. Ovechkin had won the Hart in each of the past two years.

Sedin said Tuesday he didn't believe he had a chance to win the award against two established stars from the Eastern Conference. But one night later the Professional Hockey Writers' Association proved him wrong, giving him 46 first-place votes and 894 points, 60 points and six first-place votes more than Ovechkin.

"Like I said, those players are second to none,' Sedin said. "It's almost like I am not part of that group. I thought the Hart was going to be really, really tough. I thought maybe the (Ted Lindsay Award). I'll take this though.'

Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin became the first player in NHL history voted a First Team All-Star in each of his first five seasons, highlighting the players named to the League's All-Star Teams for 2009-10.

Ovechkin surpassed the mark of Montreal Canadiens Hall of Fame goaltender Bill Durnan, who was named a First-Team All-Star in his first four seasons from 1943-44 through 1946-47. Joining Ovechkin on the First Team is Capitals teammate Mike Green, who earned his second consecutive berth on defense.

Each of the remaining First Team players is a first-time selection, including two Chicago Blackhawks -- defenseman Duncan Keith and right wing Patrick Kane. The last time the Blackhawks boasted as many First-Team All-Stars was in 1992-93 (goaltender Ed Belfour and defenseman Chris Chelios). Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres and Hart Trophy-winning center Henrik Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks complete the First Team.

The National Hockey League Foundation today announced that Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller is the recipient of the 12th Annual NHL Foundation Player Award. The award recognizes an NHL player who applies the core values of hockey – commitment, perseverance and teamwork – to enrich the lives of people in his community.  The NHL Foundation will present $25,000 to Miller's Steadfast Foundation.

"We are very proud to award Ryan with the 2010 NHL Foundation Player Award," said Kenneth Martin, Jr., NHL Vice President Community Affairs. "His commitment to numerous children's charities and his personal dedication to the Steadfast Foundation in helping to find a cure for cancer exemplifies the commitment all our NHL players have in giving to their communities."

Center Henrik Sedin has become the first player in the 40-year history of the Vancouver Canucks to win the Hart Trophy, awarded "to the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team" as selected by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association.

Sedin garnered 46 first-place votes among the 133 ballots cast and accumulated 894 points to edge the two-time defending Hart Trophy winner Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals, who was the top selection on 40 ballots and earned 834 points.

Sedin flourished in 2009-10 despite having to play 19 games without his twin brother and career-long linemate Daniel, who missed a large chunk of the season with a broken foot. With 112 points – 30 more than his previous career-high – Henrik became the first player in franchise history to win the Art Ross Trophy as NHL scoring champion. Sedin easily led the League with 83 assists, 14 more than runner-up Joe Thornton of San Jose. Five of Sedin’s career-high 29 goals were game-winners. With a plus-35 rating, Henrik Sedin has been a plus player in every one of his nine NHL seasons with the exception of his minus-2 rookie year.
