Robin Lehner has never shied away from his troubled past.
The Islanders goalie, who battled alcohol and pill addiction but has now been sober for more than a year while also undergoing medical treatment for mental-health issues, won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perseverance and dedication at the NHL Awards Show in Las Vegas on Wednesday night.
And Barry Trotz, whom Lehner thanked in his acceptance speech for "thinking about the human first, I've got to respect that," won the Jack Adams Award as the top coach. He also won the award with the Capitals in 2016.
