Some extremely sad news this morning as we learn that Kurtis Foster’s infant daughter has passed away. She was just five days old.
Foster is a finalist for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, after he returned from a horrific leg injury to post 42 points in 71 games as a defenseman for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Voting for the award has already been completed, and the winner of the award will be announced on June 23.
Jose Theodore, a finalist for the award as well, lost his infant child last year.
