2022 NHL Awards: Matthews Wins Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award
Matthews Crowned NHL's Most Valuable Player
Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews emerged as the big winner at the 2022 NHL Awards ceremony, claiming both the Hart Trophy and the Ted Lindsay Award. The Hart Trophy recognizes the NHL's most valuable player, while the Ted Lindsay Award is voted on by the players themselves to identify the league's outstanding player.
Ted Lindsay Award Deserves More Recognition
While the Hart Trophy carries prestige, many argue that the Ted Lindsay Award offers a more accurate assessment of the league's top performer. The players who cast their votes in the Ted Lindsay Award are intimately familiar with all aspects of their opponents' games, providing a more comprehensive evaluation than outside observers.
Edmonton Oilers' Historical Dominance
The Edmonton Oilers have a rich history in both the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award races, boasting 11 winners and 13 finalists in total. The Pittsburgh Penguins are also a force to be reckoned with, having won 10 Hart Trophies and 9 Ted Lindsay Awards.
