On Saturday, the Kings’ forward was named one of three finalists for the Lady Byng Trophy, which is awarded “to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability.”

Florida’s Aleksander Barkov and Boston’s Louis Eriksson were the other two finalists named.

Kopitar finished third in Lady Byng voting last season when the award went to Calgary’s Jiri Hudler.
