Here’s the latest on the Ted Lindsay Award.
- 2024 winner: Nathan MacKinnon was named the Ted Lindsay Award recipient for the 2023-24 season, as voted by NHL players. This is consistent with public reports from NHL and NHLPA outlets published after the awards show.[7][8]
- 2025 update: Nikita Kucherov won the Ted Lindsay Award for the 2024-25 season, marking his second time winning the honor (also 2018-19). Finalists included Leon Draisaitl and Connor Hellebuyck, with the winner announced at the NHLPA awards in June 2025.[1][2]
- Context: The Ted Lindsay Award honors the NHL’s most outstanding player as voted by fellow players, with the official list of winners maintained by the NHLPA and NHL.[6][8]
