Gaudreau was named on 130 of the 167 ballots and received 54 first-place votes for 906 voting points to finish ahead of Vladimir Tarasenko of the St. Louis Blues (738) and Mikael Granlund of the Minnesota Wild (445).

Gaudreau (18-43—61 in 72 GP) reached the 40-assist and 60-point milestones for the third time in as many NHL seasons to propel the Flames to their second playoff berth in three years. He registered a career-low two minor penalties and four penalty minutes, tied for the fewest among skaters who appeared in at least 41 games. However, Gaudreau’s average time on ice (18:29) was four minutes greater than anyone else in that group. The 23-year-old Salem, N.J., native is the second Calgary player to win the Lady Byng Trophy in the past three seasons, following Jiri Hudler in 2014-15.
