Connor McDavid wins Lindsay Award as league’s most outstanding player as voted by his peers, Seattle’s Matty Beniers wins Calder Trophy as top rookie
Connor McDavid won the Ted Lindsay Award as the NHL’s most outstanding player as voted by his peers on Monday night, a clear-cut choice after the highest-scoring season by a player in more than a quarter-century.
The Edmonton Oilers’ captain led the league with 64 goals, 89 assists and 153 points. That’s the most points since Mario Lemieux in 1995-96. Boston’s Linus Ullmark won the Vezina Trophy as top goalie on a big night for the Bruins, who won a league-record 65 games in the regular season. Ullmark, who took the honour for the first time, led the league with a 1.89 goals-against average and .938 save percentage and was tied for the most wins with 40 – getting them in just 48 starts.
Seattle’s Matty Beniers won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. Beniers led all rookies with 57 points and was tied for the lead among them in goals with 24, helping the Kraken make the playoffs in their second year of existence.
