NHL Awards Show 2017 live stream: How to watch trophy winners and expansion draft results online

This year’s NHL Awards have a bit more intrigue in them than past years. With the inclusion of Las Vegas into the NHL next season, the league is holding its expansion draft during the award ceremony.

With both events happening at the same time, Wednesday is quite a marquee event for the NHL and its fans. The NHL Awards are once again being held in Las Vegas, with the expansion draft a treat for Golden Knights fans in their home city. The protected lists and predictions are out, and we’re getting closer to finding out just what the Golden Knights roster will look like.

Actor and Penguins fan Joe Manganiello will host the NHL Awards this year, but he will likely bow out to Vegas owner Bill Foley, general manager George McPhee, and head coach Gerard Gallant as the expansion draft segment gets underway.

The NHL Awards themselves will start at 8 p.m. ET as the league hands out 15 awards to the best players from the past season.
