The reigning Lady Byng Trophy winner has once again been nominated for the honor.

Colorado College alum and Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin was named a finalist for the award on Wednesday that is given 'to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability',

Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyle Connor, and Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon were also named finalists.

The former Tiger logged the most total (1,858:52) and average (23:32) minutes for a Carolina defense that allowed a League-low 202 goals en route to claiming its first William M. Jennings Trophy in franchise history and second straight division title.
