Martin St. Louis won the 2010 Lady Byng Trophy given to the player that exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability.
It's the first time St. Louis has captured the Lady Byng after finishing as runner-up three straight seasons.
It's his fifth straight year as a finalist.
The award adds another trophy for St. Louis' bulging memorabilia case which now boasts a Stanley Cup ring, Art Ross Trophy (Most Points in a Season), Lester B.
