Ovechkin wins Conn Smythe Trophy

Alex Ovechkin walked away with not one, but two trophies on Thursday night in Las Vegas.

After tallying 15 goals and 27 points in 24 games en route to the Washington Capitals' Stanley Cup triumph over the Vegas Golden Knights, Ovechkin was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP.

Ovechkin was remarkably consistent throughout the postseason, too, scoring at least three goals in every series. He did more than just score though, as he played with a high level of energy and physicality throughout the entire playoffs, recording 81 hits.

Evgeny Kuznetsov made a strong case for the Conn Smythe with a playoff-leading 32 points, but Ovechkin has been the heart and soul of the Caps since Day 1. It's his team and it's his Conn Smythe.
