Nikola Jokic sounds off on Nuggets after first-round loss to Timberwolves
Cole Caufield is on track to become the first Wisconsin Badger to win the NHL's Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, having scored 88 points and only 14 penalty minutes this season. He is competing against Anze Kopitar and Jake Sanderson for the award.
Cole Caufield is closer than ever to becoming the first Wisconsin Badger to win the NHL's Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.
That's not to say the Badgers alumni don't show great sportsmanship, far from it, but they've never had a former player quite like the Montreal Canadians star.
Caufield joined the prestigious list of skaters to have a 50-goal season. In total, he scored a career-high 88-points and registered just 14 penalty minutes.
Now, he's up against Los Angeles Kings' Anze Kopitar and Ottawa Senators' Jake Sanderson in an award that is given, "to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability.”
Seeing as this award has been around since the 1924-25 season, it's only a matter of time before a former Badgers player finally wins it.
The NHL has yet to reveal when the winner will be revealed.
