After enduring a season full of trials and tribulations, Kris Letang has earned the Penguins' nomination for the 2023 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. The award goes to a player who best exemplifies qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to ice hockey.
This is the fourth time Letang has been nominated for the award. It is given annually by the Professional Hockey Writers Association. A player from each team is nominated by the local chapter.
"It's something to take pride in, being able to bring it every day," Letang said Saturday in Detroit when speaking of the nomination following the Penguins' win there that day.
