LAS VEGAS (AP) — Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon, who had a career-high 140 points, won the Ted Lindsay Award as the league’s most outstanding player to open the NHL awards show on Thursday night.
The awards go to the league's top players as voted on by the NHL Players Association.
MacKinnon won the award for the first time. He opened the season with a 35-game points streak at home, second all-time only to Wayne Gretzky.
