Nathan MacKinnon, Leon Draisaitl and Artemi Panarin are the finalists for the Hart Trophy, the NHL announced on Tuesday.

The award, voted on by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association, is given annually to the NHL player voted to be most valuable to his team.

Edmonton Oilers’ Draisaitl led the NHL with 110 points (43 goals, 67 assists) in 71 games when the season was paused March 12 due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus.

MacKinnon, of Cole Harbour, finished fifth in the NHL with 93 points (35 goals, 58 assists) and led the Colorado Avalanche to the second-best record in the Western Conference (42-20-8, .657 points percentage).

Panarin was third in the NHL with 95 points and helped the Rangers to a 37-28-5 record (.564 points percentage) and the No. 11 seed in the Eastern Conference.
