Igor Shesterkin was named the Rangers' Most Valuable Player, Barclay Goodrow and Jacob Trouba were named co-recipients of the Players' Player Award, and Ryan Strome was named the winner of the John Halligan Good Guy Award.
The Most Valuable Player Award was voted on by members of the New York Rangers media and has been given annually since the conclusion of the 1941-42 season. Shesterkin is the first Rangers goaltender since Henrik Lundqvist in 2017-18 to win the award.
Heading into the final game of the season, Shesterkin has posted a 36-13-4 record to go along with his .935 save percentage and 2.07 goals against average.

He currently leads the NHL in both save percentage and goals against average.
