Carey Price, still up for Hart, collects Vezina Trophy and Lindsay Award
— -- Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price has won the Ted Lindsay Award, chosen as the NHL's most outstanding player by his fellow players, as well as the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goalie.
Price accepted the Lindsay trophy to open the NHL Awards show in Las Vegas on Wednesday night.
Price also is a candidate for the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player.
Price set a franchise record and led the league with 44 wins in the regular season, posting a 1.96 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage. No goalie had led the NHL in victories, GAA and save percentage since Chicago's Ed Belfour in 1991.
Price got 27 of the 30 first-place votes for his first Vezina Trophy. Nashville's Pekka Rinne and Minnesota's Devan Dubnyk finished well behind Price in the voting.
Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenseman for the second time, both in the past four years.
Karlsson had 66 points to lead all defensemen in scoring for the third time in four years. He ranked third in the NHL in total ice time and scored 30 power-play points, tying for the league lead among defensemen.
Karlsson edged Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty and Montreal's P.K. Subban for the award. Doughty got 53 first-place votes to Karlsson's 44.
Chicago's Duncan Keith is the only other active defenseman with multiple Norris Trophies.
Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins won his second straight Selke Trophy as the NHL's best defensive forward and third in four years.
Bergeron also won the award in 2012. He beat Chicago captain Jonathan Toews and Kings forward Anze Kopitar in the voting.
Bergeron led the NHL in faceoff wins and winning percentage in the just-completed season while ranking as one of the NHL's best puck-possession forwards. His disciplined two-way game also included 23 goals, 32 assists and a plus-2 rating in 81 games.
Toews won the award in 2013.
Just one forward playing west of the Central time zone has ever won the Selke.
Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad won the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie.
He prevailed in a tight three-man race with Ottawa's Mark Stone and Calgary's Johnny Gaudreau.
The No. 1 overall pick in last summer's draft, Ekblad scored 39 points with a plus-12 rating for the Panthers. After turning 19 years old last February, he is the youngest defenseman to win the Calder since Bobby Orr in 1967.
Florida has won two of the past three Calder Trophies. Ekblad joins Jonathan Huberdeau, who won it in 2013.
Bob Hartley of the Flames won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's top coach.
Hartley led the Flames to a 20-point improvement in his third season behind their bench, finishing third in the Pacific Division with a 45-30-7 record. Calgary also earned its first postseason berth since 2009 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2004.
Hartley beat out Nashville's Peter Laviolette and the New York Rangers' Alain Vigneault for the honor.
