Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid won the Ted Lindsay Award on Sunday.
The award is presented annually to "the most outstanding player in the NHL," as voted on by the NHLPA.
"This award, coming from the guys that you play against every single night and battle against every single night, to have them recognize me with an award like this, means so much," McDavid said in the release.
This is McDavid's fifth time winning the honor, tying Wayne Gretzky for the most in league history.
The 29-year-old scored 48 goals and added 90 assists over 82 games this season, winning his sixth Art Ross and once again leading the Oilers to the playoffs.
McDavid beat out San Jose Sharks phenom Macklin Celebrini and Tampa Bay Lightning star Nikita Kucherov for the award.
McDavid is also a finalist for the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player. He is up against Kucherov and Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon.
