With the Stanley Cup Final in full swing, the NHL continues to announce some of the league's award winners prior to the NHL Award ceremony later this month. Most recently, Cale Makar was named the winner of the Norris Trophy,

MacKinnon and Makar were both selected to the 2024-25 First All-Star team, which is voted on by the Professional Hockey Writers Association. It’s the first time two members of the Avs have been named to the first team together since Patrick Roy and Joe Sakic in 2001-02.

Two of the most recent individual award winners are the Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain, who won Defensive Player of the Year and now, Cale Makar of the Colorado Avalanche winning his second James Norris Trophy as the NHL's best defenseman.
