Votes were cast and tallied and the 2020 NHL Fan Choice Awards have been decided.
Fans submitted more than 2 million votes to determine the winners of 20 categories, including Best Bromance, Best Mascot, Best Team Dog, Funniest Player and Best Dressed.
Many of the categories had winners by narrow margins, but some weren't so close. Connor McDavid's bernadoodle Lenard won Best Dog with 47.9% of the vote. Philadelphia Flyers forward Jakub Voracek won Best Beard with 56.1%.
In the on-ice categories, Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne was the Goal of the Year winner with 42.3% for his shot into an empty net against the Chicago Blackhawks in January. Vegas Golden Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury won Save of the Year with 52.7% for his gravity-defying effort against the Toronto Maple Leafs in November. David Ayres' emergency performance in goal for the Carolina Hurricanes against the Maple Leafs won Best Feel-Good Moment with 44.8%.
