    The deal comes after a breakout season for Pacioretty, who led his team in points, with a career-high 65. He also posted career highs in goals (33), assists (32), and games played (79).

    Pacioretty received the Bill Masterton trophy for the 2011-12 season, which is awarded for perseverance, determination, and dedication to the game. His 2010-11 season was cut short by injury after a brutal hit from Boston’s Zdeno Chara caused Pacioretty to miss the final 15 games of the season and the playoffs. Pacioretty suffered a fractured neck and a concussion on the play.
