Connor McDavid Wins Hart and Ted Lindsay Trophies
McDavid is only the second unanimous Hart Trophy winner in NHL history, joining former Oilers superstar Wayne Gretzky in that category. Wayne received all 63 media votes after scoring 92 goals and 212 points in the 82-83 season. McDavid received 100 out of 100 first places votes this season.
McDavid and Draisaitl also become the first teammates to win Hart Trophies in consecutive seasons since Phil Esposito in 68-69 and Bobby Orr in 69-70 and are only the fourth duo to do so in NHL history. They are the first teammates to win consecutive Ted Lindsay awards since Sidney Crosby in 11-12 and Evgeni Malkin in 12-13. That is some spectacular company to be keeping in the record books. Congrats to Connor!
