Panthers' Jaromir Jagr: Secures Masterton Trophy

Jagr won the 2016 Masterton Trophy on Wednesday at the NHL Awards ceremony in Las Vegas, NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

The Masterton is awarded "to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey," and Jagr certainly deserves that honor as someone who just capped off his 22nd year in the NHL and still managed to lead the Panthers with 66 points (27 goals, 39 assists) in 79 games. Jagr will return for at least one more season but reportedly has backed out of the World Cup of Hockey in September.
