The annual Steven McDonald Award is a distinguished honor for a Rangers player to receive as much as it is a cherished tradition for the New York Rangers community. Since its inception in 1988, the award is presented to a player, voted on by the fans, that "goes above and beyond the call of duty." The award's namesake comes from late New York City Detective Steven McDonald who was shot in the line of duty in the summer of 1986 and loved this team as much as anyone.

As expected, Perreault left collegiate hockey and signed his entry-level NHL contract with the Blueshirts on Monday. His three-year deal carries an AAV of $1.233 million and a boat-load of questions about its efficacy. Gabe’s first practice as a #NYR.
