Barry Trotz wins Jack Adams Award

Barry Trotz, who guided the Washington Capitals to the Presidents' Trophy this season, won the Jack Adams Award as the League's best coach at the 2016 NHL Awards in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
In Trotz's second season with the Capitals, Washington had a League-leading 120 points and a 56-18-8 record. The Capitals, who set their record for road wins (27), were second in scoring (3.02 goals per game) and second in goals-against per game (2.33).

Under Trotz's guidance, Washington was fifth in the NHL in power-play percentage (21.9) and second in penalty-killing percentage (85.2). Trotz was a finalist for the award twice in the past, in 2010 and 2011 with the Nashville Predators.
