Leon Draisaitl Wins 2020 Ted Lindsay Award over Nathan MacKinnon, Artemi Panarin

NHL players believe Leon Draisaitl was the best player in the league during the 2019-20 season.

Draisaitl won the 2019-20 Ted Lindsay Award during Monday's NHL Awards show, beating out fellow finalists Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche and Artemi Panarin of the New York Rangers.

In July, the NHL Players Association announced the three forwards were the finalists for the award that goes "to the most outstanding player in the NHL" as determined by his peers. The members of the NHLPA vote on the award, differentiating it from the Hart Memorial Trophy and other awards.
