The PWHL announced the three finalists for the Billie Jean King MVP award on Thursday, which included Boston Fleet captain Hilary Knight.
She is accompanied by the Toronto Sceptres’ Renata Fast and Montréal Victoire’s Marie-Philip Poulin. This is the second time Poulin was named a finalist for the award as last year’s inaugural award was given to the Sceptres’ Natalie Spooner.
The award goes to the player who was considered the most valuable to their team during the regular season. The winner will be announced on June 25 during the draft.
They led. They delivered. They made a difference.

The captain had a five-game stretch where she collected 11 points from seven goals and four assists from March 5 to 26. The streak began with her hat trick over the New York Sirens. This was the first nine-game point streak for Boston.
