Caps in the trophy voting

Alex Ovechkin won four trophies and was named a first-team all star, Bruce Boudreau won one award, Nicklas Backstrom was a finalist for another (finishing second to Patrick Kane for the Calder). But they weren’t the only ones recognized in the voting. Perusing the lists of vote-getters compiled by James Mirtle, there were several Caps in the mix. Some will, no doubt, make you go, “huh?”
