Hockey Betting Lines

06/15/2007 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Boston's Phil Kessel won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy at the 2007 NHL Awards presentation on Thursday. The award is presented to the player who exhibits perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.

Kessel, who the Bruins took with their first draft pick (fifth overall) in the 2006 draft, made his debut in the NHL earlier in the season, but missed a month as he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in December.

He returned to play in early January and finished the season with 70 games played in which he notched 11 goals and 18 assists.

The Masterton Trophy is voted on by members of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association. Anaheim's Teemu Selanne earned the honor in 2006.
