This is, without a doubt, the most special Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award handed out to date. We know this because the greatest New York Rangers fan in the world passed away earlier in the season, thus adding more meaning into this season’s award.
Mats Zuccarello is that lucky man who skates away with the award, as presented at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night prior to the team’s regular season finale against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
