We are now a few games into the NHL season and it is possible to look at the results and try to determine very early leaders for the NHL Awards. At this point in the year, I think the leading MVP candidate is Alexander Ovechkin. Ovechkin is tied for the NHL lead with 10 points. His five goals are second in the league. His +5 +/- rating is top among forwards in the league. Ovechkin is off to a great start. This is not surprising given that he has won the Hart trophy the last two years running and is the NHL’s best player.

While we’re at it, Craig Anderson for the Vezina, Dan Bylsma for the Jack Adams, Matt Carle for the Norris, Troy Brouwer for the Masterson, John Tavares for the Calder, Michal Handzus for the Lady Byng, and Daymond Langkow for the Selke.
Let’s not forget Malkin for the new TPSH Award for lowest team-and-zone start-adjusted Corsi.
