EDMONTON, AB - Oilers captain Connor McDavid has won the Hart Memorial Trophy for the second time in his career, the NHL announced on Tuesday.
The Hart Trophy is awarded to the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team, as voted on by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association.
McDavid earned all 100 first-place votes to beat out this season's other finalists, Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche and Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He is just the second unanimous Hart Trophy winner in the 97-year history of the award, which was first presented in 1923-24. McDavid joins another Oilers captain, Wayne Gretzky, who was the top choice of all 63 voters following his 92-goal, 212-point season in 1981-82.
