Andersen, Ingram and Kylington Named Finalists for the Masterton Trophy

On Thursday, the NHL named the three finalists for the Masterton Trophy. Carolina netminder Frederik Andersen, Arizona (Utah) goaltender Connor Ingram and Calgary defenseman Oliver Kylington are the three finalists. As a reminder, Colin Blackwell was the Blackhawks’ nominee.

First awarded in 1967-68, the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy is presented annually “to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.”

In the history of the award, only two Blackhawks have been the winner:

  • 1969-70 — Pit Martin
  • 2003-04 — Bryan Berard
