Patrice Bergeron’s stellar 200-foot play throughout his 14-year career has earned him four Selke Awards. Barring any injury or major dropoff in production, Bergeron will surpass Bob Gainey for most Selke wins at June’s NHL Awards in Las Vegas.
Given that he’s on pace for a career-year in 2017-18, Bergeron may have his ‘Hart’ set on another prestigious award.
It’s been long overdue, but Bergeron is finally getting recognition in the Hart Trophy discussion — given out to the league’s Most Valuable Player — among peers and media scribes throughout the National Hockey League. In a year that’s included two hat tricks, one first star of the month (for December) and second star of the month (January) honors, the longest tenured Bruins is set to surpass his career-high 73 points set in 2005-06; his second year in the league.
