Kirill Kaprizov had 99 of 100 first-place votes in the 2021 Calder Trophy voting. The 24-year-old lived up to the hype, tallying 27 goals with 24 assists in 55 games during the 2021 season. However, in somewhat of a consolation prize for the home team, LA Kings defenseman Mikey Anderson earned one fifth-place vote.
The 21-year-old expanded off a six-game sample size at the end of the 2019-20 season, playing a full season primarily paired with the veteran Drew Doughty.
