The NHL kicked off its awards show in Las Vegas by presenting the Norris trophy … won for the seventh time by Detroit’s ageless Nicklas Lidstrom, 41, who recently said he will return next season.

Next is Daniel Sedin accepting the Art Ross trophy as the top scorer…

And the Mark Messier leadership award goes to Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins. Almost didn’t recognize him without his playoff beard.

Check back for more as the awards are announced.
