(New York) Winnipeg Jets winger Kyle Connor won the Lady Byng Trophy as the player with the most sportsmanship.
Posted at 8:59 p.m.
The NHL made the announcement Monday just before the start of Game 4 of the Western Conference Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Colorado Avalanche.
Connor tied for second in minor penalties on the season. He’s only been punished twice in more than 1,700 minutes of play — including being shorthanded and being matched against the opposition’s top lines.
This is the first time he has been crowned recipient of the Lady Byng.
Last season’s champion, Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin, finished second overall.
Minnesota Wild captain Jared Spurgeon completed the voting podium held by the Professional Association of Hockey Reporters.
