June 21, 2018 The Capitals didn't net any trophies awarded by a voting a process, but they're probably quite fine with taking home the Stanley Cup and Prince of Wales Trophy (Eastern Conference champs). And Ovi can add his seventh Rocket Richard Trophy (top-goal scorer, 49) to his cabinet, to go alongside the Conn Smythe (playoff MVP).
