Last Red Wings to Win Each NHL Award
June 20th, 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. Previously, it was an annual occurrence, with Nicklas Lidstrom’s Norris trophies and Pavel Datsyuk’s various awards becoming commonplace.

Anything, and I mean pretty much ANYTHING can happen between now and the end of the NHL's 82-game season. But if you...Connor McDavid: New Face of the NHL
