The votes are in.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, and Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid are this year's finalists for the Ted Lindsay Award.

The award is presented to the league's most outstanding player as voted by the players' association.

Crosby has won the award three times, while it'd be a first for both Burns and McDavid.

Chicago Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane was last year's winner.
