LAS VEGAS -- Montreal's Carey Price was the bigger winner at the NHL awards on Wednesday, capturing the Hart Trophy, Vezina Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award.

Price became the first goaltender since Dominik Hasek in 1998 to be named MVP, top goaltender and most outstanding player as voted by the NHLPA.

In his third acceptance speech, Price smiled and said he'd run out of things to say.

"This award is given to an individual, but it takes a team to support that individual," Price said.

There seemed little doubt this would be a coronation for Price, who led the league with 44 wins, a 1.96 goals-against average and .933 save percentage.

His 44 wins also were a franchise record, passing the legendary Jacques Plante.

Price was a dominant force as the Canadiens finished first in the Atlantic Division despite being 20th in the NHL in goals.

Teammate P.K. Subban finished third in Norris Trophy voting as Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators was named the best defencemen for the second time in his career. Karlsson joins the Chicago Blackhawks' Duncan Keith as the only active players to win the Norris twice.

"I think this represents what we did as a team," Karlsson said of the Senators' crazy second-half run to the playoffs.

Senators rookie Mark Stone was second in Calder Trophy voting to Aaron Ekblad of the Florida Panthers. The Calgary Flames' Johnny Gaudreau was third.

Gaudreau's coach, Bob Hartley, won the Jack Adams as the Flames surprisingly made the playoffs. He said the coach of the year honour was a reflection of his team.

"As a coach you just have to put the players on the ice, set a plan and go from there," Hartley said.

Flames forward Jiri Hudler became the first Czech-born player to win the Lady Byng Trophy for gentlemanly conduct combined with high performance. He had 14 penalty minutes while finishing eighth in points.

Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins won the Selke Trophy as the best defensive forward for the third time in four years.

Steve Yzerman of the Tampa Bay Lightning was voted general manager of the year, and Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk got the Masterton Trophy for perseverance and dedication to hockey.
