Sam Reinhart finished 16th in Selke Trophy voting and 11th in Lady Byng Memorial Trophy voting for the 2025-26 NHL season.
What happened?
The Florida Panthers winger received votes for both awards, with 67 total points from one first-place vote, one second-place vote, five third-place votes, six fourth-place votes, and seven fifth-place votes for the Selke Trophy.
He earned two first-place votes, three second-place votes, five third-place votes, nine fourth-place votes, and nine fifth-place votes for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.
Why it matters for Sam Reinhart
This marks the fifth consecutive season where Reinhart has earned Selke Trophy votes, and his best finish in Lady Byng voting, with 29 goals and 61 points in 64 games.
The winner of the Selke Trophy was Montreal Canadiens center Nick Suzuki, who won the award with 1,756 points.
What comes next?
Reinhart led the team in both goals and points despite injuries, and has now earned votes in four of the past five seasons for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.
And he finished second behind Aleksander Barkov in Selke Trophy voting last season, and fourth in 2023-24.
The Lady Byng Memorial Trophy was won by Montreal Canadiens player Cole Caufield, who exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability.
So Reinhart's performance is a significant achievement, given his injury-plagued season.
He has consistently demonstrated his skills as a defensive forward, earning him recognition in the NHL.
With 61 points in 64 games, Reinhart has proven himself to be a valuable player for the Florida Panthers.
And his ability to earn votes for both the Selke Trophy and the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy is a testament to his strong work ethic.
But Reinhart's success is not limited to his individual achievements, as he has also contributed to the team's overall performance.
The Florida Panthers will likely look to Reinhart to continue his strong play in the upcoming season.
