The American Hockey League announced Friday that Chicago Wolves left wing Daniel Carr won the Les Cunningham Award as the League’s Most Valuable Player for the 2018-2019 season. Carr earned the honor based on a vote by the coaches, players and media in each of the league’s 31 cities.
Carr produced a career-high 30 goals, 71 points, and a 35 plus/minus rating in 52 games this season for the Wolves. The 27-year-old Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada native led the AHL in all three categories March 5, the day he was the victim of an illegal hit by San Antonio’s Jordan Nolan that caused an injury to keep him out for the final 18 games of the regular season.
Carr is the fourth Wolves player to earn the Les Cunningham Award. He joins left wing Kenny Agostino, 2016-2017, center Jason Krog, 2007-2008, and right wing Darren Haydar, 2006-2007.
