Nick Foligno Selected as Nominee for NHL Award

Even though he's sidelined by an injury, Nick Foligno contributes so much more with his mere presence. His unique leadership skills make him an invaluable asset to the team.

That's why on Monday morning, it was revealed that the seasoned player would be the team's nominee for an NHL award this season. According to Bruins PR:

BOSTON - Bruins winger Nick Foligno is the Boston Bruins 2023 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy nominee, as selected by the Boston chapter of the Professional Hockey Writer's Association (PHWA). The Masterton Trophy is given to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.

Following an injury-plagued first year in Boston, marked by career lows in goals (2) and assists (11), Foligno has made an impressive comeback this season. The 35-year-old notched 10 goals and 16 assists in 60 games with the Bruins before sustaining a lower-body injury on February 29th.

Joe Haggerty from Boston Hockey Now, who also serves as the Professional Hockey Writers Association Boston Chapter Chair, explained why Foligno was chosen as the Bruins' nominee.

''Whether it's through his hardnosed, determined play or his leadership, or simply the smile and joy for hockey that he brings to the rink with him every day, I can't think of a more fitting candidate for the Masterton Trophy than Nick Foligno.''
