Conn Smythe Watch: Tyler Johnson takes command in Cup Final (Puck Daddy)

Welcome our Conn Smythe Watch. This one is a just a glimpse at the current picture. Last list's ranking is next to each name. Who are the current favorites for playoff MVP? Glad you asked.

1. Tyler Johnson, Tampa Bay Lightning (3)

To win the Conn Smythe, you need to catch the breaks. Johnson’s softy goal against Corey Crawford in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Blackhawks was huge for the Lightning. He still has the playoff goals and points lead at 13 and 22 respectively.
