Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron was looking to make history Friday night.

Bergeron was a finalist for the Frank J. Selke Trophy, given to the best defensive forward in the National Hockey League, with Aleksander Barkov of the Florida Panthers and Mark Stone of the Vegas Golden Knights. Bergeron was looking to take home his record fifth Selke Trophy and appeared to be the front runner for the award.

Apparently, the Professional Hockey Writers Association did not agree.
