The NHL Awards are ongoing and as the winners are announced, so too are the players to have received votes that fell short of the prize.
After Anze Kopitar took home this year’s Lady Byng, the voting from the PHWA reveals that four Leafs got votes for the award:

Auston Matthews got the most points among Leafs players on the ballot as he finished 19th with only one first-place vote. Mitch Marner was not far behind at 23rd with 15 total points and three third-place votes.
Rounding out the group of Leafs players to have received votes is William Nylander and David Kampf, who both tied for 39th place with each getting a fourth-place vote.
Compared to last season which saw five Leafs get Lady Byng votes, the highest-ranked player was Marner in fourth place while Matthews was the 10th highest-ranked recipient.
