One skater who filled the net more than anyone else this hockey season and two goalies who backstopped their team to a historic campaign will be featured in this year’s awards special on NHL Network.
Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers and the Boston Bruins’ Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman will discuss their superior years for the 2023 NHL Regular Season Awards Show, which airs at 12:30 p.m. ET Saturday, April 22.
McDavid, the league’s dominant player and arguably the greatest athlete in the world today, put up regular-season numbers the NHL hasn’t seen in nearly three decades, scoring 64 goals and adding 89 assists for 153 points — a total not seen since Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux’s 161 in 1995-96. He will win his third straight Art Ross Trophy as the league’s top point scorer, and his fifth overall, along with his first Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy for most goals.
Ullmark and Swayman teamed to lead the Bruins to the single greatest regular season in the NHL’s 106-year history, with 65 wins and 135 points, both records. They also became the first goalie tandem to record a 40-win and a 20-win season, with Ullmark winning 40 and Swayman 24. Along the way, they have tickled fans with their trademark post-win “goalie hug,” where they crouch down, then spread their arms and stand back up for a joyful embrace.
Executive produced by NHL Chief Content Officer Steve Mayer, the 2023 NHL Regular Season Awards Show celebrates of the accomplishments of the NHL regular-season award winners. The special will be anchored by Anna Dua of NHL Network, Alexa Landestoy of NBC Sports Washington and former NHL player Jody Shelley of Fox Sports Ohio

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The Jonas Brothers have announced a 35-date tour of North America for this summer and fall, taking place mostly in arenas but also touching down in a few key stadiums, including Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Wrigley Field in Chicago and (as previously announced) Yankee Stadium in New York. The gambit for the tour is that the sibling trio will play five of their albums each night. Obviously, their releases have not all been hour-plus excursions, but it should still make for a lengthy set. This format plays off of and expands the conceit of the group’s recent run in a Broadway theater, in which each night focused on a different one of those five albums (albeit with copious amounts of extra material filling out those single-album shows as well).
