Bergeron wins third Selke Trophy in four years

2015 NHL Awards - Show

2015 NHL Awards - Show

Jeff Vinnick

For the second straight year, the finalists for the Selke Trophy were Jonathan Toews, Patrice Bergeron and Anze Kopitar and once again Bergeron came out on top.

This is the third time in four years that Bergeron has taken home the award and the one time he fell short in that span, he still was recognized as the runner-up. The two-way center had a league-leading 60.2% faceoff success rate in 2014-15. From an analytics perspective, he looked superb with a 57.36% 5-on-5 Fenwick on a Bruins’ team that had a 48.01% rating when he wasn’t on the ice.

Jonathan Toews finished just shy of Bergeron with the final margin being 1,083 to 1,051. That’s in contrast to last year when Bergeron ran away with the award.

Here are the voting results for the award, cutting off at the top 10:

Pts. (1st-2nd-3rd-4th-5th)
1. Patrice Bergeron, BOS 1083 (75-29-19-8-11)
