With the conclusion of the regular season, it's now time to vote on the award winners. Before we get to the nominees, let's have a look at the awards that are already decided. This year we had more sharing than usual, with 3 Rocket winners, 2 Orr-Robinson winners, 2 Craig Ludwig winners, and an odd sharing of the Jennings between 2 goalies who are no longer teammates. Technically any goalie that plays 25 games for the team with the least goals allowed during the regular season receives this award. As a result, Louis Domingue and Matt Murray share the award for their play in Ottawa, even though Murray was traded. This odd situation has never happened before, here or in the NHL.
