HART FINALISTS
Taylor Hall, New Jersey Hall finished sixth in league scoring with 93 points and had a 26-game point streak, but his biggest accomplishment was getting a Devils team that had finished last in the East the year before into the playoffs.
Anze Kopitar, Los Angeles Kopitar, who is also a finalist for the Selke Trophy as the top defensive forward, could be the first player to win both awards in the same year since Detroit’s Sergei Fedorov did it in 1994.
Nathan MacKinnon, Colorado Few believed the Avalanche would make the playoffs when the season began. Even fewer thought it was a possibility after the team traded away Matt Duchene. But with MacKinnon leading the way with 97 points, Colorado had a 21-win improvement. (MICHAEL TRAIKOS)
