NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid swept the NHL's top individual awards to cap his career-best season at the NHL Awards on Monday.
McDavid won the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player and the Ted Lindsay Award as the NHL Players' Association's most outstanding player.
It was McDavid's third Hart Trophy win, having been nominated five times. Boston Bruins star David Pastrnak finished second for MVP while Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk was third.
McDavid earned 195 first-place votes for the Hart Trophy, with Pastrnak getting the only other first-place vote. McDavid also becomes only the third four-time recipient of the NHLPA most outstanding player award, joining Wayne Gretzky (five-time recipient) and Mario Lemieux (four-time recipient).
