Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman has won his first Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenseman.

The imposing Swede beat out finalists P.K. Subban of Nashville and Los Angeles defenseman Drew Doughty, who won it last season.

Hedman scored 17 goals and racked up a plus-32 rating in another dominant season for the Lightning. While his 63 points were down from last season, he set a career high while playing nearly 26 minutes per game.

Connor McDavid has won the Ted Lindsay Award as the NHL players union's choice as the league's most outstanding player.

The Edmonton Oilers superstar beat out Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon and New Jersey's Taylor Hall for the first award of the night at the NHL's annual postseason gala award show in Las Vegas.

McDavid won the award for the second straight year. He also won the Hart Trophy in 2017 as the NHL's most valuable player — but he isn't a finalist for the Hart this season, with Los Angeles captain Anze Kopitar taking the third spot alongside MacKinnon and Hall as the finalists.

The 21-year-old McDavid led the NHL in scoring for his second consecutive season, earning the Art Ross Trophy with 108 points.
