Summary
Cole Caufield claimed the Lady Byng Trophy for combining elite skill with zero-nonsense sportsmanship, posting career highs in goals and points while keeping penalty minutes to a mere fourteen. Meanwhile, Mika Zibanejad, though falling short of the trophy, still earned twelfth-place honors with one first and one second-place vote — a testament to his stellar bounce-back season. He led the Rangers in goals and power-play points with 96, matched Caufield’s clean-play stat with 14 penalty minutes, and was showered with team honors: Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award (third time), Team MVP, and Players’ Player Award. Zibanejad also broke into Rangers’ all-time scoring ranks, moving into fourth in goals and becoming the franchise leader in power-play goals, while hitting 800 career points and 1,000 games. It was a season of quiet dominance and team-wide admiration. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
