1. ALEX OVECHKIN, WSH 591 (103-23-7) 6
First Team, 2 Second Team
2. Martin St. Louis, T.B. 440
(36-74-38) 1 First Team, 4 Second Team
3. Patrick Kane, CHI 437 (36-63-68)
Don't know the total amount of voters but Ovechkin had 133 votes ranking him in the top 3. St. Louis had 148 and Kane had 168. Subban had 178 voters put him in the top 3 for defenseman.

That means at least 45 voters didn't select Ovechkin as a top 3 right winger in the NHL this season. Which lines up nicely with his left wing votes:
