VGK Earn Two Nominations for the 2023 ESPYS Presented by Capital One

VEGAS (June 22, 2023) - Following the team's victory in the 2023 Stanley Cup Final, the Vegas Golden Knights earned two nominations in The 2023 ESPYS. The annual awards ceremony, broadcast live on ABC from Los Angeles, supports ESPN's ongoing commitment to The V Foundation for Cancer Research, launched in 1993 by ESPN in partnership with the late Jim Valvano.

The Golden Knights were recently nominated for "Best Team" while Jonathan Marchessault was selected as a nominee for "Best NHL Player" after he was named the 2023 Conn Smythe Trophy Winner. Marchessault became the first undrafted player to win the award, which is given to the player most valuable to his team during the playoffs, since Wayne Gretzky in 1988. The forward finished tied for the NHL lead in goals (13), second overall in points (25), and first in plus-minus (+17) through 22 games during the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Fans can now cast their vote for the Golden Knights and Marchessault at ESPN.com/ESPYS. The ceremony will broadcast live on Wednesday, July 12 at 5 p.m. PT on ABC.
