Auston Matthews finalist for Lady Byng Memorial Trophy award

2020 Lady Byng Trophy finalists, voted by @ThePHWA: Nathan MacKinnon (COL), Auston Matthews (TOR) and Ryan O'Reilly (STL).

I like to vote for d-men - it's harder to defend & not take penalties. Last D to win: Brian Campbell (2012) and then Red Kelly (1954) before switching to C.— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) July 16, 2020

The Lady Byng Memorial Trophy is awarded each year, “to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability.”

The award is voted on by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association.
