#NHLPeachy @NHL Hurricanes’ Jaccob Slavin Wins Lady Byng Memorial Trophy

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin is the 2020-21 recipient of the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, awarded “to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability,” as selected by the Professional Hockey Writers Association.

Slavin was a runaway winner, receiving 73 of the 100 first-place votes in collecting 827 voting points. Jared Spurgeon of the Minnesota Wild finished second with 223 voting points, marking the first time that defensemen have ranked 1-2 in Lady Byng balloting. Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who was second in Lady Byng voting in 2019-20, ranked third this season with 188 points.

Slavin (3-12—15) averaged the most time on ice (22:59) for a Hurricanes team that yielded 2.39 goals per game, tied for the fourth-fewest in the NHL, en route to capturing its first division crown since 2005-06. Slavin, who recorded 1,195:05 of total playing time in 52 outings, took only one minor penalty – for delay of game (puck over glass) – the fewest among all skaters who averaged at least 20 minutes in 2020-21 (minimum: 10 GP).

The 27-year-old Denver native has captured his first NHL Award and is the second player in franchise history to win the Lady Byng Trophy, after Ron Francis in 2001-02. He also is the fourth defenseman to take home the award since it was first presented in 1924-25, following Brian Campbell (2011-12 with Florida), Red Kelly (3x, most recently 1953-54 with Detroit) and Bill Quackenbush (1948-49 with Detroit). (Kelly also won the award as a forward in 1960-61 with Toronto).

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
