Martin St. Louis has been nominated for the 2013 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.
The other two finalists are Patrick Kane and Matt Moulson. St. Louis is a two-time winner of the award, but this time capturing the trophy would carry with it some extra meaning. He would join Stan Mikita and Wayne Gretzky as the only players to win both this award and the Art Ross Trophy in a single season. St. Louis had 60 points and 14 penalty minutes in 48 games.

Martin St. Louis is upbeat about the Lightning's future.

St. Louis feels confident about the players currently on the roster and said there's "no way" the Bolts can't turn things around next year. "[General manager] Steve Yzerman is a smart guy," St. Louis said. "He’s been in every situation. His experience, his knowledge, I have full confidence in what he’s trying to do. I feel some of his pain because he wants to win and it hasn’t gone the way he’d like to the last couple of years. It’s a tough act to follow after the first year we go to the conference final (in 2011) and we're one game away from the Stanley Cup final. I always feel when you set the bar like that it becomes a pretty big responsibility."

Martin St. Louis has been named a finalist for the Ted Lindsay Award, given annually by the NHL Players Association to the league's "most outstanding player."

The veteran winger will be in tough for the award against young stars Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington's Alex Ovechkin. St. Louis won the trophy back in 2004 when it was known as the Pearson Award and he led the NHL in scoring in 2013 with 60 points in 48 games. He also led the league with 43 assists.

Martin St. Louis reflected on becoming the oldest player in the history of the NHL to win the Art Ross Trophy.

St. Louis finished the season with 17 goals and 60 points in 48 games. "When the hope of getting in (the playoffs) goes away, you try to finish strong and play the right way, then a couple of things happen along the way. Obviously, Sidney getting hurt. Then you find yourself in a situation that you can do something cool," St. Louis said. "It's something that nobody can take away from me. It's in the books." He broke the record established by Gordie Howe when he won the Art Ross Trophy at the age of 34 in 1962-63. St. Louis is obviously showing no signs of slowing down and could average about a point-per-game in 2013-14.

Martin St. Louis locked up the Art Ross Trophy on Saturday night, getting a goal and an assist in the Lightning's 5-3 loss to the Panthers.

The 37-year-old concludes the season with 17 goals and 60 points, which is three better than his teammate Steven Stamkos. He is the oldest player to ever win the Art Ross Trophy. Ryan Malone and Matt Carle had the other goals. Vincent Lecavalier, Teddy Purcell, Victor Hedman and Stamkos had the helpers.
Apr 27 - 11:20 PM

Martin St. Louis and Steve Stamkos could finish 1-2 in the NHL scoring race.

It would be only the 11th time in the post-expansion era that two players from the same team would finish in the top two in scoring. "I want to see the guys do it," Tampa Bay head coach Jon Cooper said. "I hope it matters (to them). It's come to the (last) game in the season and they have the chance to look back in history to see their name in the history book, especially a guy like Marty, who has the chance to become the oldest player in the history of the game to win a scoring title. Then you have Stammer nipping at his heels In my perfect world, they would finish tied." Just something to watch in an otherwise meaningless game.

Martin St. Louis went pointless in Thursday's loss.

We note this because he enters Saturday's season finale with 58 points, two ahead of teammate Steven Stamkos, Sidney Crosby and four ahead of Alex Ovechkin and Patrick Kane in the Art Ross Trophy race. The 37-year-old has been fantastic this season with 16 goals and 42 assists. "I'm just trying to play the game and finish the year strong and try not to think about it," said St. Louis. "You try to control the things you can and see where the chips fall when they're done."
Apr 26 - 10:38 AM

Martin St. Louis was held off the scoresheet Thursday in Tampa's 2-0 loss to Boston.

The league's leading scorer with 58 points was held pointless in this contest after having racked up five points in his two prior outings. He has one game remaining on the schedule to add to his point total.
Apr 25 - 11:19 PM

Martin St. Louis notched a hat trick to power the Lightning to a 5-2 win over the Leafs on Wednesday night.

Sidney Crosby, who hasn't played in 25 days, is no longer the points leader, with 56. St. Louis' goals upped his total to 16, and he's now tops in the NHL with 58 points. At 37, the winger is playing some of his best hockey and is just a joy to watch compete every night. A goal and an assist for Steven Stamkos helped him tie Crosby in points. Radko Gudas potted the other goal, while Nate Thompson had two assists.
Apr 24 - 9:49 PM

Martin St. Louis isn't interested in playing for Team Canada at the world championships next month.

"My kids have a lot of stuff going on," he said. "I just want to be part of it." Steven Stamkos and Teddy Purcell have made it known that they want to play for Canada. Tampa Bay may have other representatives at the tournament with Anders Lindback and Victor Hedman interested in playing for Sweden, and Nate Thompson and Matt Carle hoping to play for the United States.
Apr 23 - 9:20 AM

Martin St. Louis scored a goal and added an assist for the Lightning in a 3-2 loss to Carolina Sunday.

St. Louis climbed to within one point of Sidney Crosby for the lead in the NHL scoring race with this performance and is likely to surpass the Penguins captain before the season is over. His main competition will likely be Steve Stamkos, who is two points behind his teammate after scoring his 28th goal of the season in this contest.
Apr 21 - 9:27 PM

Martin St. Louis collected two assists in Tuesday's win over Ottawa to surpass 900 career points.

He currently has 901 points, including 569 helpers, in 970 NHL appearances. The 37-year-old winger has racked up 40 assists in 39 games this season, which trails injured center Sidney Crosby by one for the league lead. Start St. Louis with confidence down the stretch.
Apr 10 - 11:36 AM

Martin St. Louis became the second player to play in 900 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The only guy with more games in a Lightning uniform is Vincent Lecavalier, who has participated in 1,027 contests. St. Louis started his career with Calgary, but he only played in 69 games with that franchise before moving to Tampa Bay. St. Louis has gone on to have a tremendous career with 332 goals and 899 points in 969 games.
Apr 8 - 10:45 AM

Martin St. Louis picked up a goal and two assists for the Lightning in a 5-0 win over Carolina Thursday night.

Steve Stamkos also chipped in with a pair of assists and the duo now stand 2nd and 3rd in league scoring, behind the injured Sidney Crosby. Teddy Purcell, Tom Pyatt, Keith Aulie and Benoit Pouliot all tallied for the Lightning in the victory.

The Tampa Bay Lightning will not trade Martin St. Louis.

There was some speculation that St. Louis might be traded given the fact that he's a 37-year-old star on a team that's unlikely to make the playoffs. Lightning GM Steve Yzerman has a different perspective though. "He remains one of the best players in the league and an extremely important player to our team, both on and off the ice," Yzerman said. "We are a team in transition, we just made a coaching change, Marty is one of the leaders of the team, he is not going anywhere."
