San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini<\/a> will have to wait another year to win a major individual award.<\/p>\n

Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers was named the winner<\/a> of the Ted Lindsay Award as the NHL\u2019s most outstanding player, as voted by the league\u2019s players. Celebrini was second in voting, according to The Associated Press<\/a>, and Tampa Bay Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov was third. Full voting results for the Ted Lindsay Award are not released.<\/p>\n

The league and the NHL Players\u2019 Association announced the honor<\/a> on Sunday. This is the fifth time McDavid has won it, tying Wayne Gretzky for the most in the award\u2019s history.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis 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,\u201d the 29-year-old center said.<\/p>\n

McDavid led all scorers this past season with 90 assists and 138 points. Celebrini was fourth in scoring with 115 points, breaking Joe Thornton\u2019s 19-year-old single-season team scoring record of 114, and Kucherov was second in scoring with 130 points.<\/p>\n

McDavid, Kucherov, and Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche are the three finalists for the Hart Memorial Trophy, given to the NHL player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team. McDavid is a three-time Hart winner.<\/p>\n

Celebrini is not a finalist for the Hart Trophy, which is voted on by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association and will be given out this month.<\/p>\n

Last year, Celebrini finished third in voting<\/a> for the Calder Trophy as the NHL\u2019s Rookie of the Year. Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson won the award, and Calgary Flames goalie Dustin Wolf, a Gilroy native, was second in voting.<\/p>\n
