Ovechkin Rookie of the Year
It came as no surprise that hotshot young forward Alexander Ovechkin was named Rookie of the Year. After all, he had an amazing 106 points in his debut season.
Ovechkin attracted 124 of 129 first-place votes and five second-place votes for 1,275 points, almost a unanimous vote in support of him for the Calder Trophy.
He was just the second rookie in NHL history to tally 50 goals and 100 points in a season, with Teemu Selanne the first to boast such rookie feats in the 1992-93 hockey season.
