NEW YORK -- Tampa Bay sniper Steven Stamkos, New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist and Pittsburgh Penguins centre Evgeni Malkin have been named finalists for the Hart Trophy.
The award is given annually to the NHL's most valuable player.
The winner will be announced June 20 at the NHL awards banquet in Las Vegas. It is decided in voting conducted by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association.
I doubt Stamkos gets simply because his team didn't make the playoffs so that makes it a two horse race between Malkin and Lundqvist.
