Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid took home his second Ted Lindsay Award in as many years Wednesday night in Las Vegas, earning the hardware as the NHL's most outstanding player, as voted on by members of the NHLPA.

McDavid is the first player in the history of the award to receive it twice before the age of 22.

The 21-year-old is coming off another sensational offensive campaign in which he paced the league by hitting triple digits in points (108) with 41 goals and 67 assists in 82 games.

No. 97's blistering speed and video-game-like handles put fans in the seats despite the Oilers' struggles. If McDavid can maintain his health and continue to rack up impressive offensive numbers, he could add several more Ted Lindsay Awards to his trophy case.
