Last Red Wings to Win Each NHL Award
September 6th, 2018 On Sunday night, I realized that it had been a few years since a member of the Detroit Red Wings had won a major NHL award.

That's why only three players -- Connor McDavid, Claude Giroux, and Nikita Kucherov -- reached the 100-point mark last season.
