What It Means:

There was really only one option this year, and that was Kane, who was outstanding all season long, highlighted by a 26-game point streak.

Kane took the scoring crown with 106 points (46 goals and 60 assists) in 82 games. He also won the Ted Lindsay Award, which also goes to the league's best player as voted by his peers. This is the first time a member of the Chicago Blackhawks has won the Hart Trophy since 1968.
