Slavin wins Lady Byng for 2nd time in 4 seasons

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin was named the 2024 recipient of the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy on Thursday, edging out Elias Pettersson of the Vancouver Canucks and Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The honor recognizes sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of play and is voted upon by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association.

Slavin won convincingly with 81 first-place votes, while Pettersson finished second on the ballot.

Slavin is the only the second defenseman to ever win the Lady Byng multiple times, joining Hall of Famer Red Kelly, who won three of his four during his time as a rearguard.

This season saw Slavin notch 37 points in 81 games while averaging nearly 21 minutes per contest. Despite his heavy usage, the 30-year-old only logged four minor penalties.

May 30 2024 – Patrick Johnston & Rob Williams

The Canucks defence corps is in the spotlight today, as Matt and Blake wonder aloud who will, and who should, patrol the right side of Quinn Hughes’ pairing. The Canucks face big decisions on Flip Hronek and Nikita Zadorov, but there are other fish in the sea that might work just as well, and maybe one of them is Chris Tanev?


Patrick Johnston stops by with his own opinions on the matter, plus he looks at the Canucks coaching staff for next season and who could replace Mike Yeo as an assistant. Not to mention, PJ updates the file on the Canucks practice facility.


Then it’s Rob Williams with his first visit since the end of the season, he gets into the defensive discussion, and whether the Canucks will look vastly different from the group that surprised this season. All that, plus a look at the Whitecaps win in KC, the prep for the Lions' final preseason game, plus Canadian Open golf and Canadian success at the French Open! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Maurice, Panthers ready for pivotal Game 5: ‘Desperation will be high’

Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice expects a sense of urgency to permeate Thursday's Game 5 as his team and the New York Rangers vie to take a 3-2 series lead in the Eastern Conference Final.

"The desperation of finality, you can start to feel it," the bench boss said, per SNY's Julie Stewart-Binks. "Forty-eight hours from now, a very good team is going to be facing elimination. You can feel that. The desperation will be high for both teams."

The Panthers won Game 1 in a 3-0 shutout, but the Rangers turned the tide with two straight overtime victories despite getting outplayed by Florida in Game 3.

The Cardiac Cats responded with an overtime victory of their own Tuesday night to knot the series at two games apiece.

The loss was a particularly difficult one for New York. Mika Zibanejad committed a costly turnover early in the extra frame, and Blake Wheeler proceeded to take a penalty to stop Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov on the partial break. Sam Reinhart scored on the ensuing power play to win the contest.

Maurice said the team who loses Game 4 typically has an "emotional advantage" in the playoffs. Despite the nature of the Rangers' latest defeat, Florida defenseman Aaron Ekblad said he doesn't view them as a ticked-off group.

"They're world-class players," he said. "I don't see frustration in them. I see guys chomping at the bit to make things happen."

Some of the Rangers' star players have been stymied by the Panthers through the first four games. Zibanejad and Chris Kreider have yet to register a point after being among the team's leaders through the opening two rounds, and they're sporting matching minus-3s.

Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette opted not to call out specific players on Thursday, only noting that the whole team needs to "play better."

"I definitely think there's room for improvement," he said. "We're playing too much defense and not enough offense."

No matter what the Rangers end up throwing at them in Game 5, Panthers rearguard Gustav Forsling said his squad can handle it.

"We're a very confident group," he said, according to NHL.com's Jameson Olive. "We believe in each other. We know we're going to get the opportunities to score, so we just have to defend first."

Puck drops on Game 5 at 8 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden.
