Patrice Bergeron edged Jonathan Toews by three points to win the Selke Award as the league’s best defensive forward.
Bergeron’s two-way play has kept the Bruins afloat while they dealt with a plethora of injuries to their blueline this year.
The Bruins center had one first place vote, two second place votes and one third place vote.
Best of the Rest: Jonathan Toews – Chicago (2 first place votes), Ondrej Palat – Tampa Bay (1 first place vote) and Jakub Voracek – Philadelphia (1 first place vote)
