New Jersey Devils winger Taylor Hall was awarded the Hart Trophy on Wednesday night in Las Vegas, edging out Colorado Avalanche sniper Nathan MacKinnon and Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar to claim the first MVP honor of his career.
Hall ranked sixth with 93 points in 2017-18, authoring a remarkable 26-game point streak in the process. His efforts were the main factor behind the Devils' first playoff appearance since 2012.
