As the NHL regular season concludes, The Athletic recognized standout players as MVPs for each team. With a focus on individual performances, analytics played a crucial role, showcasing players like Lukas Dostal from the Ducks, who excelled despite team challenges, and David Pastrnak from the Bruins, who found success even after roster changes. Other notable mentions include Rasmus Dahlin for the Sabres and Dustin Wolf, who was pivotal for the Flames. These players consistently demonstrated exceptional skills and contributions, significantly impacting their teams' successes and struggles throughout the season.
Dostal won games for the Ducks that they didn't deserve, proving he’s a No. 1 goalie with 23 wins and a .905 save percentage.
Pastrnak hit the 40-goal mark for the fourth straight season and 100 points for the third straight season amidst a team in flux.
Dahlin’s all-around impact is tough to beat, as evidenced by the Sabres' struggles without him during a key 13-game stretch.
Wolf has carried one of the NHL's lowest-scoring teams virtually every game he played, making him the Flames' undisputed MVP.
