Kopitar wins 2nd career Lady Byng Trophy

Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar was awarded the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for the second time in his career, beating out New Jersey Devils phenom Jack Hughes and Tampa Bay Lightning star Brayden Point.

The award is given "to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability."

Kopitar, who previously won the award in 2016, led the Kings with 74 points this season and recorded only four penalty minutes. The 35-year-old has worn the "C" in Los Angeles for the last seven seasons.

The Slovenian star is a likely future Hall of Famer. He's also won two Stanley Cups, two Selke Trophies, and a Mark Messier Leadership Award.

Meanwhile, Hughes led the Devils with 99 points this season and picked up only six penalty minutes, and Point notched 95 points and just seven penalty minutes.
