- It is very glorious.

It has been a fantastic year and to top it with a gold puck means a lot, he says to Expressen.

This is the second time the 30-year-old NHL profile has received the award.

The first time he won the gold puck was in 2015.

- It means a lot to win individual prizes, but at the end of the day it is team sports we are doing.

The Stanley Cup bangs louder than anything, he says.

The gold puck has been awarded by Expressen and the Swedish Ice Hockey Association since 1956. Ahead of the 2014/2015 season, the rules were changed and it was also made possible for players in foreign leagues to win the prize.
