The article discusses Alex Ovechkin and Logan Thompson of the Washington Capitals earning nominations for the prestigious Lady Byng Trophy for 2025, which celebrates sportsmanship and skill. Despite their nominations, the award went to Anze Kopitar of the Los Angeles Kings, marking his third win. Ovechkin, who has had a stellar career, notably has never won this award, finishing 13th in voting this year. Thompson's performance as a goaltender also reflected a high standard of conduct, with no penalties taken during the season.
"Ovechkin finished his 20th NHL season with his 14th 40-goal campaign, recording 73 points in 65 games, demonstrating a consistent high level of play."
"Kopitar is the third player this century with at least three Lady Byng Trophy wins, joining Pavel Datsyuk and Martin St. Louis."
