Cole Caufield won the 2025-26 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, the NHL award for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct, as selected by the Professional Hockey Writers Association. Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki surprised Caufield with the trophy in the team's locker room before a playoff game while Suzuki himself received the Frank J. Selke Trophy. Caufield's award caps a 2025-26 season in which he scored 50 goals, becoming Montreal's first 50-goal scorer in 36 years. The honor underscores that Caufield pairs elite scoring with on-ICE sportsmanship and boosts Montreal's profile as the team heads into the postseason.
