The Masterton has been given out since 1968, per the NHL to the player “who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.”
Unfortunately, that recognition also comes with a difficult journey to showcase perseverance and Letang (who was a finalist for the Masterton in 2015 as well) went through the ringer this season off the ice.
