Jets’ Toews Named Masterton Finalist

Rasmus Dahlin, Gabriel Landeskog and Jonathan Toews earned the nod after returning from major health setbacks and helping their teams reach the playoffs.

  • On Monday, the Professional Hockey Writers Association named Buffalo Sabres defenceman Rasmus Dahlin, Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog, and Winnipeg Jets centre Jonathan Toews as finalists for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy.
  • The Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the NHL player who best exemplifies perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey; voting is conducted by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association.
  • Dahlin managed a career-best 74 points while supporting his fiancée, Carolina Matovac, through heart failure and transplant surgery last summer, leading the Sabres to their first playoff berth in 14 years.
  • Landeskog returned for his first full season after missing three years with knee injuries, while Toews played all 82 games following a two-and-a-half-year absence due to long COVID and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.
  • The winner of the Masterton Trophy will be revealed in June, concluding voting by the Professional Hockey Writers Association among the three finalists.
