Will Cuylle is the winner of the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award.

The 23-year-old forward has 281 hits in 281 games for the Rangers this season .

He's up to 39 points ( 18 goals and 21 assists) through 75 games, with a chance to hit the 20G/40P plateau if he can notch two more goals.

He sits only four away from tying the Rangers ' single-season record of 285 hits.

No. 50 Cuylle is trending toward achieving the desired blend of beef and scoring.

The Rangers are trying to move the team toward a play style that's grittier and more direct.

"If you can push 20 goals, 25 goals, and then still be an effective, physical presence out there, those players are unique," Laviolette said.
