Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid swept the top individual honors at the NHL Awards on Monday to cap his career-best season.

McDavid won the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player and the Ted Lindsay Award as the NHL Players' Association's most outstanding player. It was McDavid's third Hart Trophy win, after having been nominated five times. Boston Bruins star David Pastrnak finished second for MVP, while the Florida Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk was third. McDavid earned 195 first-place votes for the Hart Trophy, with Pastrnak getting the only other first-place vote.

The Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2023 is the year of the goaltender.

Netminders Henrik Lundqvist, Tom Barrasso and Mike Vernon have all been selected for the Hockey Hall of Fame, as announced Wednesday. They join former NHL center Pierre Turgeon and Canadian women's hockey star Caroline Ouellette, as well as coach Ken Hitchcock and the late Pierre Lacroix, who built two Stanley Cup champions with the Colorado Avalanche.

Forward Connor Bedard, the projected top pick in the upcoming NHL draft, was named the inaugural winner of the IIHF Male Player of the Year Award Monday.

"This is such a huge honour," Bedard said, per the International Ice Hockey Federation. "I'm not sure how to compare it to others I've received, but it's pretty incredible to receive this award with all the unbelievable players that have competed in the IIHF this season and the amazing players that were nominated for this award."

Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy played and coached in three established professional sports cities before arriving in Las Vegas.

After the Golden Knights hoisted the Stanley Cup in the team's sixth NHL season - and Cassidy's first as their coach - Sin City has become a two-time titlist in less than a year after. The Las Vegas Aces won the WNBA championship last fall.

"Vegas has become a market just like all the other major ones now, slowly but surely," Cassidy said Friday. "You gotta build some history to do that. And to build history you gotta win championships. So good for the Aces and good for us to get championships."

Aside from being one of the Vegas Golden Knights' "Original Misfits," Jonathan Marchessault can now add another title to his name: Conn Smythe Trophy winner.

Marchessault was named the most valuable player of the Stanley Cup Playoffs following the Knights' commanding 9-3 Stanley Cup-clinching victory Tuesday in Game 5 against the Florida Panthers at T-Mobile Arena. Marchessault recorded an assist in the win that gave the Golden Knights their first title in their six-year history.
