The 2024 NHL Awards were held tonight, with the final five awards being announced and it was an uneventful night for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

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.

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’t receive any down-ballot submissions.

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.

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.
