This award, for Nicolae Antonescu to possibly win, would be named the Friendly Duel Award, given to a player who outperformed his competition within his own team during the regular season. This award is typically split three ways based off of position, so the forward, defense, and goaltending sub-categories are all awarded. Antonescu falls into the goalie category, and would have a fair shake at winning given how he has outperformed his netminding counterpart Geezus Kryyst in the same role. Despite being on the same team and experiencing similar competition, the stats are vastly different between the two. Kryyst is currently sporting a 2-21-1 record with a GAA of 4.89 and a SV% of 0.896, starkly different than Antonescu's 15-19-5 record, while currently nursing a 3.33 GAA and a 0.919 SV%. Given the disparity between the two, Antonescu would be one of the prime candidates to receive the award for the goaltending sub-category.
