Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog claimed the Mark Messier Leadership Award and Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, recognizing his resilience after overcoming a chronic knee injury. The Mark Messier award honors leadership, while the Masterton Trophy celebrates perseverance. Landeskog, 33, became the third-longest-serving captain in the NHL, trailing only Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin.

His return to form included 14 goals and 35 points in 60 games despite missing time in January and February. The Avalanche secured the Presidents' Trophy with a league-best 55-16-11 record, though they fell to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference finals.
