McDavid Wins Conn Smythe on Losing Team
McDavid Becomes Sixth Player to Receive Conn Smythe with Losing Team
Only five players have won the Conn Smythe Trophy as a member of the losing.
Connor McDavid won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the NHL's playoff MVP, despite the Oilers losing to the Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Final. McDavid is the sixth player to win the Conn Smythe on a losing team, joining a list that includes Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Sidney Crosby. McDavid's performance in the playoffs was nothing short of remarkable, as he led the Oilers to three series victories before falling to the Avalanche in the Finals. McDavid's win marks the first time that a skater has won the Conn Smythe on a losing team since 1992, when Patrick Roy won the award with the Montreal Canadiens.
