Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin wins Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanship
View Date:2024-12-23 22:18:30
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin joined some rare company when he was announced on Thursday as the winner of the Lady Byng Trophy.
He's the second defenseman to win the award for "sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct" at least twice, joining four-time winner Red Kelly. He's also the second U.S.-born player to win it twice, joining Joe Mullen.
Slavin played nearly 1,700 minutes and recorded 37 points while being assessed only eight penalty minutes. He became the franchise's all-time leading defenseman in assists (223) and points (272) this season.
He received 81 first-place votes and 1,174 points to edge the Vancouver Canucks' Elias Pettersson (508) and Toronto Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews (506).
Slavin won the award in 2020-21 and finished second in voting the following year.
