Price Is Right At 2015 NHL Awards Show
The spotlight was clearly on Carey Price on Wednesday as the NHL handed out their annual awards.

Ottawa Senators captain Erik Karlsson won his second Norris Trophy as the league's best defenceman, finishing ahead of the Canadiens' P.K. Subban and Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings.
Florida Panthers defenceman Aaron Ekblad won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year, beating out Ottawa Senators forward Mark Stone and Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau.
Calgary coach Bob Hartley won the Jack Adams trophy as coach of the year. Flames forward Jiri Hudler won the Lady Byng trophy for gentlemanly play.
