Pettersson led all NHL rookies in goals (28), assists (38) and points (66) in 71 games in 2018-19. He also led the Canucks in all three categories this season and broke Pavel Bure's franchise rookie scoring record.

Binnington, a third-round pick of the Blues in 2011, backstopped the Blues to a playoff spot after being dead-last in January with a 24-5-1 record and a .927 save percentage (fourth among all goalies) and a 1.89 GAA (first in the NHL) in 32 games.

The first overall pick in the 2018 NHL draft, Dahlin was the third-leading point-getter among rookies with 44 points ( nine goals, 35 assists) in 82 games.
