Calgary Flames captain Mark Giordano edged Toronto Maple Leafs blueliner Morgan Rielly for Norris Trophy consideration in the Professional Hockey Writers Association's mid-season awards announced on Thursday.

Giordano is second among NHL defenceman in scoring with 11 goals and 52 points this season and first in the league with a plus-29 rating. Rielly has 13 goals and 50 points - third among blueliners in points this season. Brent Burns, who leads all defencemen with nine goals and 55 points this season was third in voting. Burns won the Norris Trophy in 2017, but neither Giordano or Rielly have ever been a finalist.

Tampa Bay Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov was named the mid-season Hart Trophy winner by the PHWA for the second straight year, while Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau finished second and Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid placed third. Kucherov leads the league in points at the All-Star break with 22 goals and 78 points in 49 games. Gaudreau and McDavid are both tied for third in league scoring with 29 goals and 73 points, though McDavid has played two fewer games.

Vancouver Canucks breakout rookie Elias Pettersson was voted Calder Trophy winner. He owns a 19-point lead in the rookie scoring race and is first on the Canucks in scoring despite missing 11 games. 

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson was the top vote-getter for the Vezina Trophy, edging Vegas Golden Knights netminder Marc-Andre Fleury and former teammate Frederik Andersen of the Toronto Maple Leafs. 

In his first year with the New York Islanders, 2018 Stanley Cup champion Barry Trotz takes the Jack Adams Award, over Flames head coach Bill Peters and Jon Cooper of the NHL-leading Lightning.

Flames general manager Brad Treliving took the GM of the Year Award with his team sitting first in the Western Conference after missing the postseason last year.
