Everyone knows that Boston Bruins‘ center Patrice Bergeron is a great player in this league. Bergeron is considered to be one of, if not the best defensive forward ever, and is a good-to-sometimes-great offensive threat. But this season, he should be a legitimate MVP candidate, having the best season of his career.
He is still the best defensive forward in the NHL, showing off his defensive prowess in the most recent games, by shutting down two of the leagues’ best players in Auston Matthews and Vladimir Tarasenko. In just 45 games, Bergeron already has 22 goals, which is just 10 behind his career high which he set in the 2015-16 season.
