Ovechkin Wins Hart, Pearson and Richard Trophies

Alex Ovechkin came to the NHL Awards Show and hauled in both the League’s MVP awards — the Hart Trophy, awarded by the writers, and the Lester B. Pearson Trophy, voted on by his fellow players.

“Losing’s not for me,” Ovechkin said before the results were even announced. He dedicated the Pearson Trophy to the memory of his grandfather, who died during the season.

It’s the second-straight year Ovechkin made a clean sweep of the MVP hardware. Ovechkin also won the Maurice Richard Trophy for the second-straight season — his 56 goals were 10 better than anyone else in the League.
