NHL TO HONOR 2007-08 AWARD WINNERS IN PITTSBURGH WEDNESDAY

at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh

The National Hockey League will honor the winners of three major regular-season
trophies and will present two special awards at a luncheon Wednesday in the Grand Ballroom of
the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh. The event will begin at 2 p.m., ET.

Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals will receive the Art Ross Trophy and the
Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy for leading the League in points and goals with 112 points and
65 goals, respectively. The William M. Jennings Trophy, awarded the goaltenders who play a
minimum of 25 games for the team that allows the fewest goals during the regular season, will
be presented to Chris Osgood and Dominik Hasek of the Detroit Red Wings, who combined to
allow just 184 goals in the 82 games.

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin will receive the Mark Messier Leadership
Award, presented to the player who exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice, and the
10th annual NHL Foundation Award, recognizing the NHL player who applies the core values of
hockey (commitment, perseverance and teamwork) will be presented to Vincent Lecavalier of
the Tampa Bay Lightning and Trevor Linden of the Vancouver Canucks.

The other major regular-season awards will be presented at the NHL Awards Show on
Thursday, June 12 at the Elgin Theater in Toronto.
