Toronto Maple Leafs star forward Auston Matthews added two more trophies to his collection last night at the NHL Awards. He won the Ted Lindsay Award and the Hart Trophy. Matthews already won the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy for leading the NHL in goals.
This is the first time a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs has won the Hart Trophy since the NHL expanded beyond six teams.
After six seasons in the NHL, Matthews has already won five awards. As he continues to evolve as a player, there will be more awards in his future.
