Devils forward Zach Parise, Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk, and Lightning forward Martin St. Louis are finalists for the Lady Byng Trophy.

The NHL made the announcement Friday for finalists of the award, which honors sportsmanship and gentlemanly play.

Parise had 45 goals (94 points) and 24 penalty minutes.

Datsyuk led the Red Wings in assists (65) and points (97), recording 22 penalty minutes. He’s vying to become the first to win four straight Lady Byng awards since Rangers forward Frank Boucher from 1928 to 1931.

St. Louis finished with 30 goals (80 points) and 14 penalty minutes.

The trophy will be handed out June 18 during the NHL awards ceremony in Las Vegas.
