I was most pleased when Kris Letang garnered the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy at the NHL awards ceremony last night. Making him the third Penguin to win the award, along with Lowell MacDonald in 1973 and Mario Lemieux in ’93.
Not that his co-finalists weren’t deserving, too. Arizona’s star forward, Clayton Keller, recovered from a femur broken in two places to register an 86-point season. Chicago goalie Alex Stalock rebounded from Covid-induced heart issues that sidelined him for the better part of two seasons to resume his career.
