Earlier this week, Braden Holtby was named as one of three finalists for the Vezina Trophy. Today the NHLPA has announced that he will also be in the running for the Ted Lindsay Award, which is given to the League's most outstanding player as voted by the players. Holtby joins fellow finalists Jamie Benn and Patrick Kane for the award.
To date, Alex Ovechkin is the only Capital to have won the Lindsay Award, and only three goaltenders (Mike Liut, Dominik Hasek and Carey Price) have ever won since its inception back in 1970.
