Oilers forward Jordan Eberle is nominated for the Lady Byng Trophy. It's awarded to the player who shows sportsmanship while playing at a high level.
The other nominees are Florida defenceman Brian Campbell and Islanders forward Matt Moulson.
Eberle led the Oilers in scoring with 76 points in 78 games while recording only 10 penalty minutes. He's looking to become the third Oiler to win the Lady Byng. Wayne Gretzky won it in 1979-80 followed by Jari Kurri in 1984-85.
The NHL awards will be given out June 20 in Las Vegas. (jrw)
