Sidney Crosby has been recognized by his peers, being named a finalist for the player’s MVP award, the Ted Lindsay. From the Pens:
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has been named one of three finalists for the Ted Lindsay Award, it was announced today by the National Hockey League.
The award is presented annually “to the most outstanding player in the NHL,” as voted on by fellow members of the NHL Players Association. He joins Edmonton’s Connor McDavid and Toronto’s Auston Matthews as a finalist for the award.
The 33-year-old Crosby, who already has three Ted Lindsay Awards to his name (2006-07, 2012-13, 2013-14), is looking to join Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky as the only players in NHL history to receive the award four or more times.
