NHL awards season is upon us and for the second straight year, a Flyers player is taking home some hardware. Oskar Lindblom has been awarded the 2021 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy after being nominated for the second straight year. Him, Matt Dumba, and Patrick Marleau were nominated for the award by the Professional Hockey Writers Association to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to ice hockey.
Oskar’s battles have been well-documented. In December of 2019, he was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma.
