Patrice Bergeron (BOS) Wins Selke Trophy
SELKE TROPHY
Winner: Patrice Bergeron
The Bruins center beat out Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk and St. Louis' David Backes to win the Selke Trophy for the first time. It's the first time a Boston player has won the trophy since Steve Kaspar in 1982. Bergeron had 64 points and was a plus-36 with just 20 penalty minutes, 67 blocked shots and 55 takeaways. He was on the ice for 66 goals for and just 34 goals against at even strength.
Also factoring into Bergeron's win was his success in the faceoff circle. He took 34.6 percent of Boston's faceoffs and won 59.3 percent of them, including a remarkable 53.5 percent in shorthanded situations. He led the Bruins forwards in shorthanded ice time with 1:48 per game.
