Tonight at 7 p.m. ET, the National Hockey League presents the 2014-15 NHL Awards live from Las Vegas.
There is plenty at stake for several players, coaches and general managers tonight as they each look to take home some hardware just nine days after the 2014-15 season came to an end with the Chicago Blackhawks hoisting their third Stanley Cup in six years last Monday.
Carey Price is up for two of the most prestigious awards as he is eligible to win the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goaltender and the Hart Trophy as NHL Most Valuable Player.
The 2014-15 NHL Awards Show can be live streamed for free here.
Price, 27, led the NHL in wins (44), goals-against average (1.96) and save percentage (.933) while ranking tied for second in the league with nine shutouts. Price became the first goaltender since the 1990-91 campaign to lead the league in all three major categories. His 44 victories set a Montreal franchise record.
Going up against Price for the Hart Trophy are Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, who won the Rocket Richard Trophy as the league's leading goal-scorer with 53 markers and New York Islanders captain John Tavares, who set career-highs in points (86) and goals (38).
As for the Vezina Trophy, Price goes up against Nashville Predators netminder Pekka Rinne and Minnesota Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk.
The Norris Trophy will also be given out the best defenseman as Drew Doughty (Los Angeles Kings), Erik Karlsson (Ottawa Senators) and P.K. Subban (Montreal Canadiens) duke it out.
One rookie will also receive the Calder Trophy tonight and the finalists for that prestigious honor are forwards Mark Stone of the Senators and Johnny Gaudreau of the Calgary Flames and Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad.
In the Jack Adams race for best coach, Calgary Flames' bench boss Bob Hartley goes up against the New York Rangers' Alain Vigneault and Peter Laviolette of the Nashville Predators.
The NHL will also hand out the Selke Trophy, the Lady Byng Trophy, the Masterton Trophy, the NHL Foundation Player Award, the Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award, the Ted Lindsay Award and the GM of the Year Award. The full list of awards, trophies and nominees can be viewed here.
The NHL caps off a memorable season by rewarding greatness throughout the league when the 2014-15 NHL Awards go on live from Las Vegas.
