In 55 games this past season, forward Sidney Crosby led the Penguins with 62 points (24 goals, 38 assists).

Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was named a finalist for the Ted Lindsay Award.

The honor recognizes “the most outstanding player in the NHL,” during the regular season as voted by fellow members of the National Hockey League’s Players’ Association (NHLPA).

During the 2020-21 campaign, Crosby led the Penguins with 62 points (24 goals, 38 assists) in 55 games.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews and Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid were also named finalists.

The winners of all the NHL’s individual awards will be announced during the Stanley Cup Final in July with the exact date still to be determined.

The center has won this award three times during his career, including when it was formerly known as the Lester B. Pearson Award (2006-07, 2012-13 and 2013-14).

The only players to win it more often are Hockey Hall of Fame members Wayne Gretzky (five times) and Mario Lemieux (four times).

In addition to Crosby and Lemieux, forward Jaromir Jagr won this award twice as a member of the Penguins.

Follow the Penguins all season long.
