Jonathan Marchessault Named Conn Smythe Trophy Winner
1 year agoVegas Golden Knights winger Jonathan Marchessault was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Tuesday after the team clinched the championship with a 9-3 victory over Florida. Marchessault was limited to just one assist this time around, but he had 25 points in 22 games overall for the postseason, scoring a league-high 13 goals and delivering 12 assists. The former Panther completed the playoffs with a 10-game point streak. Amazingly, he was sitting on only two points through the team's first seven playoff games. The 32-year-old is the first undrafted player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy since Wayne Gretzky in 1988.
