LAS VEGAS — Nathan MacKinnon finally has his Hart Trophy.

After close calls in both 2018 and 2020, the Colorado Avalanche centre was voted the NHL’s most valuable player for the 2023-24 season Thursday at the league’s annual awards show.

MacKinnon also won the Ted Lindsay Award, which honours the most outstanding player in a poll of the NHLPA’s membership.

Vancouver Canucks defenceman Quinn Hughes took the Norris Trophy as the league’s top blueliner, while Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck claimed Vezina Trophy honours as the best netminder.
