Meredith Gaudreau Surprises Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan With The NHL's Bill Masterton Trophy
Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan received the Bill Masterton Trophy in an emotional surprise from Meredith Gaudreau, the widow of Johnny Gaudreau. The award goes "to the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey," and the Professional Hockey Writers Association voted for Monahan as the person who best displayed those qualities this year. Advertisement Johnny Gaudreau was Monahan's teammate and close friend before he and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau were killed while riding bicycles in August 2024 when a car struck them. Johnny was 31, while Matthew was 29. It was a difficult season for Monahan, the Blue Jackets, the Gaudreau family and the entire hockey community.

(Samantha Madar/USA Today Network via Imagn Images) Meredith Gaudreau travelled to Toronto to visit the Monahan home and delivered the trophy to their front door. She communicated with Monahan's wife, Brittany, to trick him into thinking that she had scheduled family photos to be taken. Therefore, Monahan wouldn't be confused with cameras in their home. After Meredith was welcomed in, she and Monahan shared an emotional moment. Advertisement 'Sean, you mean everything to John,' Meredith said to him. 'It's just really special that I could be a part of this because this one is about you. 'You persevered through one of the hardest things, and you just lead by example. This one's for celebrating your character and how good of a person you are.' Monahan's perseverance and leadership touched everyone, including Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner. 'Just the way Monny has persevered through really, really hard times. It's been inspiring to me and to the whole group,' Jenner told The Athletic's Aaron Portzline in April. 'The way he's handled himself, just stepping in here under those circumstances. He's been a leader in the room and a leader on the ice. He's a true pro. Everyone can learn from him.' Advertisement The two other finalists were Minnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, who has played his final season in the NHL at the age of 40, and Colorado Avalanche left winger Gabriel Landeskog, who made a dramatic return to the NHL after suffering a knee injury that kept him out of hockey for nearly three years.

Panthers endure uncharacteristic playoff collapse in losing Game 1 of Stanley Cup Final to Oilers
For nearly three full years under coach Paul Maurice, the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers were unbeatable in the playoffs when holding a lead through either of the first two periods. Until Wednesday night. After a 4-3 overtime loss to Edmonton in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Panthers blamed themselves for playing too conservatively in allowing the Oilers to score three straight goals as Florida squandered a 3-2 advantage entering the third. 'Just not let up. Don't sit back,' said Sam Bennett, who scored twice — including his franchise-record 12th goal of this postseason. 'We've been really good all year at not sitting back with the lead, and for whatever reason we sat back tonight.' It was an uncharacteristic collapse for a Florida team that had won 31 consecutive playoff games under Maurice when holding the lead at an intermission break. Worse yet, the Panthers actually blew a two-goal lead in a game Leon Draisaitl sealed by converting Connor McDavid's centering pass 19:29 into overtime. The winning goal came on a power play, 72 seconds after Tomas Nosek was penalized for delay of game after lifting the puck over the glass. Maurice was more concerned with how the Panthers performed well before Nosek went into the penalty box. Florida was outshot 24-8 from the beginning of the third period on. 'I think we had some real good pressure. They get it back and then there were some plays we didn't compete,' Maurice said. 'I thought we were a little safe with the puck.' Florida dropped to 8-3 on the road this postseason and trails a series for the first time since losing the first two games of its second-round meeting with Toronto, which the Panthers rallied to win in Game 7. Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final is in Edmonton. As for Nosek's penalty, Maurice called it a tough break, and made a point to remind the player how valuable he was in helping the Panthers rally against Toronto. Nosek didn't make his playoff debut until Game 3 of the Maple Leafs series. 'That line came in and changed everything for us. We're not here without Tomas Nosek,' Maurice said. 'He's got lots of people sitting at his table and reminding him how good he's been.' The question for the Panthers is how they appeared to wear down as the game progressed in a rematch of last year's final, which Florida won in seven games. Just when it appeared Florida had grabbed the momentum by building a 3-1 lead on Bennett's second goal two minutes into the second period, Edmonton responded with Viktor Arvidsson's goal 1:17 later. And the Panthers looked gassed in the third when Mattias Ekholm converted McDavid's centering pass to tie the score at the 6:33 mark. The 46 shots allowed were the most permitted by Florida in the playoffs since giving up 65 in a 3-2 win over Carolina that took four overtimes in Game 1 of the 2023 Eastern Conference final. And they came a game after the Panthers allowed 52 shots in Game 5 of a second-round series-clinching 3-2 OT win over Toronto. Draisaitl's power-play goal was just the eighth allowed by Florida in 62 chances this postseason. Maurice remained calm in assessing how evenly matched the teams are in a series he believes has a chance to go the distance. 'It has the potential to be just a spectacular seven-gamer,' Maurice said. 'It was honest, it was hard, it was fast and it was tight. It was an overtime game.'

Maurice's message to Nosek after game-deciding penalty in Florida's Game 1 Cup Final loss
All Tomas Nosek could do is watch from the penalty box as the Florida Panthers' hopes to win Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final slipped away. He was an observer for the casualty he committed, flipping a puck over the boards with just less than two minutes left in overtime to give the Edmonton Oilers a power play. Edmonton struck on that chance, with Leon Draisaitl beating Sergei Bobrovsky to seal the Oilers' 4-3 come-from-behind victory on Wednesday to open the best-of-7 series. It's a tough moment to take for Nosek, Florida's fourth-line center whose play typically slips under the radar. But the Panthers are doing what they can to make sure Nosek doesn't hang his head too much. 'That stuff happens in the game of hockey,' veteran forward Brad Marchand said. 'You know, it's a bad break. He's been a great player for us all year, all playoffs. So, yeah, we have his back on that one.' While the blunder is the moment fresh in fans' minds, a reminder of what Nosek has done for the Panthers this postseason. He was a healthy scratch through the first seven games of the playoffs — all five games in the first round against the Tampa Bay Lightning and the first two of the second round against the Toronto Maple Leafs. After Florida dropped the first two games to Toronto, Maurice made a wholesale change to his fourth line, dropping Mackie Samoskevich, Nico Sturm and Jesper Boqvist and inserting Nosek, A.J. Greer and Jonah Gadjovich in their place. The trio was integral in the Panthers winning Game 3 against the Maple Leafs and turning the tide of that series, which Florida ultimately won in seven games. Nosek has been in the lineup every game since, is integral on the penalty kill and on multiple occasions has had to move up in the lineup midgame to fill in for injured teammates. Through 11 playoff games, the Panthers have not allowed a goal at 5-on-5 in the 98:12 Nosek has been on the ice despite opponents having an expected goals for mark of 4.73. 'We're not here without Tomas Nosek,' Maurice said. 'It's a tough break. We make sure he doesn't eat alone tonight, he has lots of people sitting at his table reminding him of how good he has been for us. It's going to be tough. He's going to eat that one for a day. But from his penalty kill to that line changing the flow of that Toronto series, we'll remind him of that a whole bunch of times.''
