Russell’s willingness to step in front of screaming slappers is a big part of the reason the 27-year-old has been nominated for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy by Calgary’s chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association (PHWA).
The annual award salutes the NHLer who ‘best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.’
“It’s an honour to get recognized for something like that,” Russell said.
“It’s pretty special.”
It’s somewhat fitting Russell’s nomination for the Masterton Trophy is being announced as the Flames head to St. Louis, where he spent parts of two seasons with the Blues.
