<p>Matthews received two first-place votes, 33 second-place votes, 53 third-place votes, 73 fourth-place votes, and 21 fifth-place votes for a total of 756 points in Hart Trophy voting — 89 points behind Connor McDavid, who finished third.</p>

<p>Matthews was the only Maple Leaf to receive votes for the awards tonight. Mitch Marner and William Nylander are typically in the running but they didn&#8217;t receive any down-ballot submissions.</p>
<p>Matthew Knies, who was among the best rookies in the NHL this past season, did not receive a vote for the Calder Memorial Trophy. There was always a slim chance that the former Minnesota Golden Gopher would be named a finalist for the trophy, but not receiving a single vote appeared to be strange.</p>
<p>Knies debuted with Toronto at the end of the 2022-23 season, playing in just three regular season games before getting a taste of playoff hockey against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers. He was a regular in the lineup, and despite his ups-and downs, Knies finished seventh in goals (15), assists (20), and points (35) among rookies and finished tied for first in game-winning goals with three. With stats like those for a 20-year-old, it was odd not to see him receive a single vote.</p>
