NEW YORK — Igor Shesterkin clearly was the Rangers’ Most Valuable Player in the 2021-22 season, but he didn’t end up getting enough leaguewide support to win the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s MVP.
However, the 26-year-old goaltender did, as expected, take home the Vezina Trophy Tuesday night as the top goaltender in the league, the NHL announced at its Awards Show in Tampa, Fla.
Also getting recognized for the Rangers was general manager Chris Drury, who was named as one of the three finalists for the Jim Gregory Award, as GM of the Year. The winner of that award will be announced at the NHL draft next month in Montreal.
